Default Quick brake light question

Morning All


If my brake light switch was knackered would the high level light in the rear screen still work. Is it some sort of dual switch or is just that my brake bulbs have popped.



TIA

If the switch goes, the brake lights stay on all the time AFAIK...

Nice one


In that case both my bulbs have popped.

Cheers to the blue Impreza driver for letting me know just now

Yeah, it's unusual, but it happens that both bulbs go together.

Dunno if a mk4 golf has the same wiring as your car, but when the brake light switch went on mine, none of the brake lights including the high level one worked.

For the cost of a switch (about a fiver) I'd change it anyway..

Al, I think Fatty meant he'd lost both side brake lights but the high one still worked, so it's not the switch.
