Help - brake lights not working!

[matty193]

I just realised that all of my brake lights (including the parcel shelf one) are not working. They still illuminate at the back when the headlights are on, but nothing happens when I brake.

I also noticed this a few weeks back when I towed a trailer, but I figured it was just a dodgy connection between the car and trailer at the time. I guess I've been driving around for weeks with no brake lights.

I guess it's the fuse rather than all 3 going at once. Can someone explain how to check this out? Cheers.

1.Undo the Surclips under nearneath your steering wheel on the fuse panel cover.
2.Using the legend on the bottom of the fuse panel cover, find whch block is the brake system.
3.Replace your fuse with an fuse of equal value (15amp im assuming)
Done.

Ok then, it is the fuse, so where would one go to purchase a fuse?

Don't worry, I'll head down to my local dealer and pick one up.
