High Level Brake Light not working!

[roy@ck]

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2006 registered (55 Plate) Octavia Estate - Elegance Model  - 2.0 ltr TDi, and the high level brake light is not working - there is no current reaching the unit on the yellow/white feed wire. The unit works fine when tested out of the car. I've checked both the yellow/white feed and brown earth wires for continuity back to the loom on the LH D pillar at the light cluster and cannot find a break in either.

The lower-level brake lights function normally, so I assume there is no problem with the brake switch (pedal mounted on this model)

Anyone had this problem, any help/ideas gratefully appreciated!

Many thanks for your interest - Roy

in order to light, i think the boot needs to be closed, more to that, I had same issue and it seemed that circuit board the one with the led lights attached to it, when you plug the socket in it moves, forward, so those two pins won't actually be inside the socket. I used a screw driver to keep it slightly still while pushing in the plug.

 

Not sure if it makes sense my explanation, but that solved my problem.
