'92 80q 20v: Brake light error

Post by PRY4SNO »

Not the most sexy of issues, but thought I'd ask you guys.

I get a brake light warning on the daily, so I changed the bulbs. Then tried swapping the bulb that worked for the one that didn't. Didn't work. What do I look at next, fuses? Can anyone point to a specific spot in the Bentley?

I can only assume you mean the actual tail lights. How do the contacts look? Mine were pretty ugly and I had to clean them some time ago. Also make sure none of the wording in the trunk has gotten snagged on anything.

Yeah, I meant tail lights. It's the passenger side.

I'm leaning toward the wiring, as the contacts look brand new.
