stop lights not working???

[sickboy]

Hi crew, well my stop lights have ceased to go? All lights work but them, I have checked fuses & the switch on the brake pedal & they all good. Not sure what to check for next? any help please. cheers

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?

Cheers guy's, just had a look & there are a couple that are corroded so I will have a go at cleaning them up in next couple of days. Thanx

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:smoking:

had a similar problem, only it was intermittent, work sometimes then wouldnt the next. I ended up buying a new wiring harness for the rear lights, as soon as i replaced that, been gold ever since!
