#3: Re: Brake light problem Author: Shill83, Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2014 1:38 am ---- I've just the fuses under the drivers side and all are ok, is it easy to check the bulbs?

Unclip the multiblock electrical connector. You should be able to see the backplate which just clips on once the unit is out. Change bulb, refit back plate, reconnect connector and then refit unit into the car making sure that the spike locates into the hole in the rear wing. Very easy to break these. Tighten wing nut and replace any trim you're displaced.
Remember that on both pre-plex and multi-plex the hi level brake light and the N/S brake light are on the same fused circuit, and the O/S brake light is on it's own fused circuit. So you can rule out the fuse for the N/S and you can also rule out the parts that are common to both circuits.
