Help! Rear Brake Light

[trickster6979]

Hi guys. Just wondering if you could shed a little light for me.

One of my brake lights has stopped working the other day. Its not the bulb as i changed them around today and that bulb works in the fogs etc. I went to a shop and this guy said it may the fuse. Would this not mean that the other brake light would stop working too? Does each brake light run off seperate fuses? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This could be tricky ;) :P

nah I don't really know, but theres 3 fuse boxes for you to look out for. one in the engine bay, one under the front boot and one in the drivers footwell.

Dunno about the Toyota, but I blew a fuse on the Rover and it wiped put the right hand side lights. Could well be a fuse for each side of the car and maybe front and back too.

I think it's a kind of built in 'get you home' feature or else if a fuse blew you would have no lights what so ever.

Just had a look in my handbook.

Drivers side kick panel fuse box

Fuse No 19, top left

TAIL 15 A: Tail lights, parking lights, instrument panel lights.

same fuse box...

Fuse No 25, top right

STOP 10 A: Stop lights, cruise control system cancel device.

So it looks as though both sides are on the same fuse.

HTH
