No brake lights, help please!

[Joshm88]

Hi guys,

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob......I need some help (car electronics is not my strong point!)

Basically, there was a non-OEM spoiler on my car with an additional brake light that had been fitted and wired in (spliced into the brake light wiring) by the bodyshop....it worked fine and so did my right/left brake lights and parcel shelf brake light.

I was getting rid of the spoiler, and having removed it, realised I couldn't disconnect the wire as it was hidden, so under the advice of a friend, I just cut the wire to the brake light on the spoiler I was removing......(WITHOUT disconnecting the battery)

But now, I have no brake lights Rear lights work fine, number plate lights work fine, and so does my rear fog light....

I tried to find a 'brake light' fuse in the engine bay fuse box and the drivers side box but couldn't find anything!

Can anyone help me out? How do I fix this?

check fuses, the wires probably touched and burned a fuse...

Cheers guys, any particular fuse I am looking for? Or should I just go through systematically and check them all?

the brake light fuse comes under the "stop, horn" section in the engine bay mate

the silly japanese use stop instead of brake! haha check your horn before you look for the fuse then if it dosnt work then its deffinatly that mate!
