hi guys

at work with my mate and his brake lights have stopped working could some one shed some light on were the switch is and what fuse number it is so we can have a quick play inthe car park

Found the switch, well hidden out of the way...
how does it come out cant even get my fingers behind it? the plunger is staying... plunged

It's a right pain tbh mate so first check all fuses, bulbs and earths to avoid doing this if possible. If it is the switch this is how I got to it.

Remove fuse box cover and lower steering wheel cowling.

Undo the 4 13mm bolts holding the steering column to the dash and let the steering wheel down (Mark the position of the bolts first so it goes back straight)

You should now have a gap big enough to get your hand in to remove the switch

Once removed give it a play with the wire connected and ignition on to see if the lights are working, mine had just become dislodged and needed putting back in.

if the plunger is stuck...its likely to be the plunger?!
