Got a little fez (N Reg) as a runaround and the brake lights are permanently on! I'm guessing its a faulty switch or bad earth and hoping someone can point me in the right direction as to where to start looking

Cheers

there is a switch at the pedal try that

HORNETS7

as above the pedal switch has worked loose it should touch the pedal then when u press the pedal down it releases the switch out

OwenGsi

I've found the switch, but can't find a way of adjusting it (no torch, dark outside), any ideas as it seems well fixed and the washer typr bolt on the underside of the switch wouldn't rotate to tighten (not sure if it should or not)

cossied

pull the connector off, if the lights go out then it is the switch.

rapidcossie

get sum blu tack and a 50p piece. push the pedal down and stick it between the pedal and the switch. problem solved

OwenGsi

i know its the switch, i pushed it in and the lights went out.

lol @ blu tack and 50p idea - class- but i think i'll key the surface of the contact plate and solder on a couple of washers or something

rapidcossie

seriously, the 50 p trick worked on my old fiesta.

OwenGsi

just been out and superglued a penny to the contact plate- sorted

my first mod on the fiesta and it only cost a penny lmao
