My brake and rear parker lights have stopped working. I still have all other lights.

I have changed globes and fuses.

Is there another fuse beside the one under the steering wheel?

What else could it be?

Thanks in advaced.

Ergh? Rear park lights? Afaik there are only reverse, stop, tail and indicator lights on the back.

If u have no stop and tail lights, i would be checking the back of the globe holder itself, maybe even get a test light and check that there is power to the wires when the light switch is on.

I dont think there is another fuse for the brake lights but i could be wrong

Could be the actual brake switch at the top of the pedal in the footwell

rear parkers=tail lights, check your connections/holders, earths,

Parkers=park lights, they come on when the light switch is in the park light position, which illuminates 3/5 of F all at the rear end.
Tail lights=tail lights, they come on with the headlights lol. Apples r apples, oranges r oranges haha

I think some of our younger brethren need to read the service manual to help with descriptions (may also help with repairs) but we are here to help also, haha!!!!
advice on here is generally pretty good

They'll probably both use the same earth. Would be a good place to start

Yea, I would go with earth problem.
Place a bare wire between the side of the tail light bulb and the holder, then hold the other end of the wire to an unpainted bolt/nut/screw while tail/headlights are turned on.
