Hi all - Ive been trying to read all the various posts re brake lights being on permanently.

They come on when I turn the key and are still on once engine is started.

Is one of the possible faults a faults switch (which I think I have found down below under the bonnet)?

I think I read you could test the switch by placing something metal between the terminals and if the lights didn't go out the switch is broken - is that right??

If so - what would be the correct part for me to get - just so I can get hold of one.

Thanks people!

Take a wire off the switch under the bonnet and the light should go out, if not the fault is somewhere else.

Wire taken off.... no rear lights.. wire put back - they stay on. So we think the switch?

Yep. But watch out I have seen on here there are a lot of duff ones being sold. With a bit of luck someone will be along soon to say where you can get known good ones.

Well done !

Crikey - actually diagnosed a problem for the first time! No stopping me now Thanks all!

Glad it's sorted the cause, just got to fix it now. Well done. Job satisfaction is what it's called

LOL - just posted about that - the fixing it part elsewhere.
