pinball wizard Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hi folks, first time poster so grateful for any help in this one... I have a 14 plate MK3 Focus Titanium Nav. About four days ago whilst driving I had an on screen notification that a rear light was faulty. Upon inspection I've found it is the drivers side brake light. All other lights are working fine on drivers side and passenger side, it's just the drivers side brake light which is intermittently working. Knowing that the other brake lights are working fine I'm for now ruling out any switch/fuse issue.. I've replaced the bulb on the offending lamp and its still intermittently not working. I've cleaned the contacts on the bulb connector and all looks fine. Any ideas as to what could be causing this issue and what I could try next to resolve without an expensive trip to a garage? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs eased out a few millimeters with a small screwdriver. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
