Tail Lights Not Working

[Isambard]

Hi all,

Just recently encountered the 'check brake lights', and then 'check tail lights' warning on the dash. I checked them and found nothing wrong (or at least obviously wrong) with the bulbs. I still replaced them with new though just to be on the safe side!

However, that didnt work. Just for information purposes, BEFORE the replacement of bulbs.... when I checked the brake/tail lights after the warning came on it was only one side that the brake light wasn't working. Then after a day or two (not been able to get to the shop to get a new bulb) the other brake light has failed. NOTE: The tail lights work fine, and the hi-level brake light still works normally.

I have checked the fuse (no.9 in the glovebox-maybe different for you guys-dunno?) and it is good.

• Could this be a relay problem?
• If so, where is the relay, and can I swap another known working relay with the (maybe) duff brake light relay just to check that this is the cause?
• Is the hi-level light on a different circuit/relay?

Thanks for all your input,

Ian
