    It will be the switch on the brake pedal has failed. Quite a common problem.

    is it all the brake lights or maybe just one? if its only one, sometimes the socket in which the globe sits rusts out or the wires come out of it, if this is the problem go to the wreckers, get one from there and rewire it up, not too hard, but yea if thats not ur prob, stealthy is prob on the right track...for once

    Don't come around my house to rewire them at bloody midnight tho........


    If it is the socket, most people would just buy the loom, and unplug theres, and plug the new one in
    You just have to be Mr Difficult

    I can't remember how to replace them, but if you can't figure it out, search it, im sure theres 100s of threads in the VN/P section, cause there always failing.
