Loss of brake lights
Could anybody with some more knowledge point me in the right direction before I set off looking...

2.4 90, LED rear lights (proper SVX ones)

drove down to move a caravan into storage, drive down all okay, once we plugged the 13 pin caravan in with a adapter, brake lights stopped working.

- I checked my cctv of me leaving that morning and brake lights worked before I set off, also for the drive down, used my cruise control (mobile centre unit) - on the way back, when pressing the brake pedal cruise control did not disengage

Leading me to believe the brake switch has failed?

Any other suggestions? would a 13 pin trailer with adapter cause this or was maybe the switch just on the way out?

Brake switch is the obvious conclusion although fuses would also be worth a check. Darren
