im just a bit pissed off that a couple off things they failled it on this time they didnt fail it last time (like that bit off welding and the handbrake) so got home jacked it up ive now done the handbrake and washers but i cant seem to get the stop lights working. i thought it was a fuse conection but everything else on that fuse works they were working b4 and the only bit off dash i have touched is where the ash tray is as ive replaced the heater motor. is there any wiring there that would stop the brake lights from working? any help or advice most welcome

I was there a while but had to leave at 8.30 because it was a school night and I had the kids with me ..... drive home was eventful, car running like a bag of shite and rad pissing water out everywhere

 

Turns out a wire to the starter motor had completely snapped and the rad is fooked it was only recored a year ago and I've only done around 4000 miles since then Fookin cars
