When my road lights are off my brake light work and when i switch on my road lights the brake light dont work (when i press the brake pedal) Cheers Ash


Have you checked that your brake lights are properly grounded?

See if someone has added trailer hitch wiring incorrectly (that is often a source new and interesting lighting issues).

Also check to see if you're getting a good voltage & ground at the terminals (best starting point).

Let us know what you find.

Problem solved, the earth in the bulb holder was burnt out, now are these available from GMC By the way i live in the UK

Great to hear.

Sorry to hear that you've got to pay UK fuel prices to keep that baby running. I used to wince filling my POS S40 over there. I'd hate to be paying your fuel bills.

Yes a full tank is $120 lol

I'd hate to think what it'll cost to fill when Iran and Venezuela get "liberated".

With luck though the next gov't will lower fuel taxes. It's nice seeing & hearing of full size vehicles over in the UK.
