Tailgate (centre) Brake Light Not Working.

[Guest SteveCac]

The Tailgate or centre brake light is not working on my Galaxy, and at first, with other bulbs not working, I thought it could be a dodgy Earth (E5?) but have recently checked all wiring and have all other bulbs working, including the interior lights which share the same earth. I have checked the bulbs which are ok, and then used a multimeter and found that I dont get any juice to the light.

 

Does anybody have any ideas, and know where the wiring goes to power this light?

Sorry guy's, should have done more research, did a quick search didnt get any answers but have read more thread's now. Looks like it could be dodgy wiring to the tailgate. Does anyone know which side the brakelight runs down, the reversing and fog lights are still working?

It's a common problem on the galaxy it seems.

 

Open the tailgate and remove the right hand cable conduit you should see a broken cable, i repaired mine by adding a 2-3 inch extention cable with a clamp at each end.
