Brake lights - or the lack of
Noticed last night I had no brake lights. I have side lights.

Coincidence since working on the dashboard or just bad timing.

First port of call is checking the fuse. (F13?)

The brake light switch, if I recall is mounted to the brake master.

After work, let the hunt commence! 1999 Defender TD5 110

The high level one is a normal bulb, the other ones are LED. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Brake light switch on top of brake pedal tower…. Pull it rebuild it or replace it.

All issues related to the brake switch. Corroded terminals and the switch playing up.
Ordered a new one.

Cheers all 1999 Defender TD5 110
