Hi, Can anyone help me with this one please.
Evry time i even lightly put my foot on the brake pedal, my dash lights go out. The lights that go out r my milage light, dash with date an that, and (sometimes) my climate cntrl display.
This doesnt happen when my lights are on. might be worth noting that my speedo dial doesnt work at all. all the other dials are fine all the time.

Short in the rear clusters would be my guess.

Just unplug both rear lights. Then turn the car on and press the brakes, if it still does it then it rules out the clusters.

there quite prone to letting water in i think, so could just be a case of something simple like water getting onto the circuit board

Now do one light at a time to see which one is at fault.

I had this exact problem a few weeks ago and by luck my dad was behind me one day and let me know my tail light was cutting out when I was braking so when I checked it the earth on the stop/tail light wasnt connected properly so got it reconnected and hey presto everything was back to full working order!
