    Bulbs ,if you have a multimeter see if it's getting power down the back if not then youve got a broken connection somewhere

    The brake pedal switch works but there is no power from the two wires that plug into it? I don't have a multimeter just one of those little prong things with a bulb in it lol.

    Is there any corrosion on the contacts?

    I had to get mine fixed for roadworthy when i sold it, mine were that badly rusted i tried to get a set from the local wreckers but it seems to be a fairly common problem. My mechanic ending up fixing it, i think he mentioned something about sandblasting and soldering if that helps.

    Go to your local pull a part and find good looms or cut off the globe holders and solder them back on
