Brake Lights Issue

[sotongalaxy]

Hi I have a v reg 2.3 Petrol Galaxy. my brake lights no longer come on when the main lights are off. They do however come on and stay on when the main lights are on??.. push the brake pedal makes no change. I seem to recall replacing the bulbs around 2 months ago and was unsure if I needed dual filiment or single. bought the dual, but all seemed to work fine. I have sprayed the pedal switch with WD.. just not sure what to do from here?.

 

Any help please?.

 

Thanks

Rob

WD40 will ease the mechanical action of the brake switch but if it gets on the electrical contacts inside it may very well act as an insulator.

It sounds like you may have a wiring problem, check the condition of the wires as they pass through the body into the tailgate.....rubber gaiter offside top of tailgate.
