I have a Ford Focus, 2002, CL, 1400 petrol.
No brake lights, even the centre high one. Have checked bulbs and fuses all ok. Have disconnected brake switch and no change. I'm stumped!

I undestood that disconnecting the brake light switch would cause the lights to be on continuously. Maybe that's wrong?

Any help appreciated.

 

You need to short out the switch not disconnect it if you want rule it out chap

 

Thanks. I'll do it and report back.

 

Sorted! It was the brake switch. Lucas replacement was only £8 and easy to fit - no tools required as it's a twist quarter turn to lock in position type.

Thanks for your help.

 

Nice one, glad it was an easy fix
