Hi,

Wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

About a month ago, one of my brake lights went out. (with the normal "stop light" warning on the dash")


When i tried to replace the bulb that was out....nothing happened.

I tried a couple of bulbs, but none worked, and dashboard warning was always on.

The fuses are all good. Any ideas?


thanks
 
I assume you've changed the correct side, LOL

No seriously, try giving all the contacts a clean with good quality contact cleaner, the tracks can also get quite dirty.
If you still have the original duff bulb, try it in the opposite side to see if it has gone at all.
 
Especially attend to the connector where it connects to the rear light cluster circuit board, The spring contacts are quite weak and may need some very careful bending to make better contact with the board. Clean the board contacts with contact cleaner and eraser when dry
