    Default Urgent rear lights

    My rear lights aren't working for the breaks or while the headlights are on, the indicators are working though and so is the reverse light. Any ideas? Thanks

    There's a plug going into the break pedal if that's what you mean? I've removed it and plugged it back in but nothing. Earth appears to be fine also.

    Check the earth on the rear panel. Near the boot latch
    Or fuses

    From the question, I assume the brake lanterns glow when front candles are not lit? But when you light up the fronts, the brake lanterns refuse to glow? Yayse?

    If so, earth fault.

    That's the brown wire(s).
