So a police car pulled up alongside me today and warned me that I had no brake lights. I checked and found both brake lights were not working but the high level brake light works fine.
It's pretty unlikely that both bulbs will fail simultaneously, so I suspect a blown fuse. I've checked the fuse listing in the manual which tells me to check fuse 2 (10 amp) in the glove compartment fuse box.
Fuse 2 controls the brake lights but no separate fuse is listed for the high level lamp, which I must therefore assume is on the same circuit, meaning the fuse should be OK.
I will check the fuse and both stop and tail bulbs as soon as I can, but how is it that the high level lamp is still operational and if the fuse and bulbs are OK, what next?
I replaced a failed stop lamp about 6 months ago and it has been fine since then.
