Someone tapped on my window today and pointed out that the brake lights on my 52 reg Multi aren't working.
I checked, and none of them are working, but the indicators and everything else on fuse 13 is fine. I did a bit of hunting on this forum, and everything pointed to the switch, so I took it out, took it apart, cleaned the contacts (there was quite a lot of black gunge inside) and put it back together again. And it still doesn't work.
Is there anything else I should check (should I jumper the connections in case the switch is just buggered)? I need to use the car to travel > 100 miles tomorrow, so it would be kinda useful to have working brake lights!
Cheers

PS it passed 250,000 miles last week, so I guess I should expect things to break occasionally, but it really is bad timing!
