Brakes lights staying on!
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2018 7:27 pm
HI, I have a 56 reg VW polo 9N3. My brake lights (second down on the rear light bulb holder) on both sides appears to be staying on.
When i press the brake with the ignition engaged, the third brake light above the rear window works perfectly but the two side bulbs stay on.
I have checked the fuses and they all are fine.
I had recently installed a dash cam where i had cut the red/black wire (brake light wire by mistake) but i have reconnected it since. The connection is good but the lights are staying on still. I even connected the wire and disconnected them and saw no difference!
Am I meant to have 2 lights on at all times when stationary? I am very confused and could really do with some help.
Thanks,
G
