Rear Lighting Fault
My lads Escort Van has a rear lighting fault.
The symptoms are that when he turns on his lights, the rears both come on fine. If he presses his brakes, the brakes lights illuminate. However, when he releases the brake pedal, the rear nearside light extinguishes. To rectify this you have to turn the lights off/on. Sometimes both rear lights extinguish. Throughout, the number plate light functions okay.
I seem to remember in the dime distant past, I had a similar fault with a car, and it was an earthling fault. Any pointers before I get my tools out at the weekend?
