Both brake lights are out
Discovered both break lights are out. Checked the bulbs and they are fine. Can anyone please advise what I should check next? Cheers, Jon.

Cheers. Not sure where the switch is. Is it easy to find?937carrera wrote:Brake light switch & fuse ?
I changed all the fuses for new the other week. Cleaned all the terminals too. They all look ok.
Cheers, Jon.

Never looked on a T25, but they tend to be above the brake pedal

Re: Both brake lights are out
We've bypassed the switch and the lights came on (think that's what we did) My mate says it's the switch.
Can anybody please tell me if mines the 2 or 3 pin switch? 1982 1.6D.
Cheers, Jon.

Re: Both brake lights are out
It could have either depending on which market it was destined for. Did he not notice how many wires went to the switch.

Re: Both brake lights are out
My mate thought it had 2 wires.
Of the 2 available at Brickwerks: the 2 pin says for T3 models and the 3 pin says for earlier models with warning light. Now mines an earlier van but I don’t think it has a warning light so I’m pretty certain it’s 2 pin.
I’ve emailed Michael at Brickwerks. He normally finds out for sure.

Well it's certainly 2pin. Switch ordered. Hoping to be able to change without too much faff and loss of fluid.

Re: Both brake lights are out
Was quite easy to change the brake light switch. Spanner in from the top after moving dash cluster slightly, eventually removed using fingers. A helpful friend to cover the hole going from under the dash, stop fluid coming out. Then new switch in from the top and tighten up. I have break lights again!!
