So having an issue with my brake lights, in that they arnt coming on at all!
I've had a look on the forum and have made sure the brake light switch under the glove box is in secure as I have had the problem with the lights staying on before but never having them completely not working.
It's a pretty beat up Peugeot so not looking to spend much on getting the car fixed so any help on whether it might need a new fuse, or something more serious would be great!
Any questions ill try n answer as new Ivan with my limited car knowledge!!
Cheers!

well you have to check the earth strap,on the tail lights loom,as you might have a bad connection there.

Have you unpluged the switch and shorted out the plug to see if it is the switch?

Pretty sure there are two separate fuses on the brake lights, and one side feeds the third brake light but not sure which. If both fuses have blown at once then you could have a bad electrical problem.
Double check the connection to the switch to make sure it hasn't been dislodge by a passengers feet. Put a multimeter across the switch contacts and make sure that it is working properly.
