Got a problem with my brake lights.  When i picked up my car, the brake lights were working, but reverse light wasnt, so i checked all the fuses and all was fine, i eventually traced it back to the plug on the reverse switch not being connected, so i plugged it back in and reverse light started working, but the next day someone pointed out my brake lights were not working, so i went back to the fuse box to check the fuses, and they were all fine, so i thought to disconnect the reverse switch, and nothing, still no brake lights and obviously no reverse lights, all fuses ok and the rest of the lights work, plug the reverse switch back in and that works, still no brake lights, but they worked briefly at one point during this process.  Any ideas?

Change the fuse anyway, in case it's a rare case of breaking under load.

 

After than the next suspect is usually the brake light switch.

Brake light switch is a common failure.

Twas the brake light switch, managed to clean it/bodge it for now, gonna run down to Skoda at the end of the week and order a new one.  Cheers for that

Less than a tenner from TPS last time I bought one.
