Rear lights problem. Possible ground issue??
Hi all
Just been checking all my lights to see if any bulbs need changing before MOT on friday and I have a problem with the rear lights and brake lights.
When I press the brake the top bulb in the cluster illuminates, but when I turn the headlights on the top bulb and the bulb second down from the top of the cluster illuminates. Which means when the headlights are on the brake lights dont work!
I've been told this could be a ground issue. If it is a ground issue then where do I look?!
I've uploaded a video to explain it better.
Thanks!

Turns out it was the earth wire in the boot. It's on the left side next to the convertible roof pump. Needed a good clean
