02 1.4 no brake lights - F1_RP
I've just recently discovered my brake lights arn't working on my leon. The brake light of the tailgate works, but the other two don't work. I've changed the fuse no luck, and it can't be the bulbs as the light part of the bulb works. Any ideas???.

The only thing i can think off is that something electrical has gone

check the brake switch above the brake pedal - might have come loose.

You have checked the actual bulbs?

Stop and tail light bulbs have two filaments in them, the brake filament has probably failed.
Won't be the switch, as the tailgate light works.

How many times at the lights do you see the cabbage in front with the foot on the brake?
