HI all,
Thanks for letting me join.
I have a 2006 Fortwo that has an odd issue. Reading through older questions I assume I have a duff brake switch but would like to confirm.
My Right (its LHD) rear brake light stopped working.
I opened to check the bulb and found the terminal strip had got hot and receded into the plastic breaking continuity to the bulb. I removed the plastic and the bulb worked again - so far so good.
On testing both brake lights work but the top rear windscreen strip does not light.
When I press the brakes the dashboard backlight dims completely (current draw?)
When I put the headlights on, the brake lights come on (not touching the pedal).
Do you think the switch is defective? Nobody has touched any of the wiring etc.
Thanks
Matt
