Hello Guys,
Anybody had this fault - A few weeks ago, up popped a message `3rd brake light. Check lamp` . I knew that only about a third of it worked, but SWMBO stood at the back and reported total failure.
I replaced it with a new one off ebay, probably Chinese. but still no joy.
I removed the new one and tested it with a 12v power supply and it works.
I can`t really see the feed wire breaking and am wondering if this lamp has a separate fuse somewhere or is it `electronically` supplied and monitored.
Since then, the car passed its MoT with one advisory - Non obllgatory high level brake light needs repair.
Any ideas ?
