Might be a stupid question, but have you checked your globes... the next thing to do, would be to check if you are getting 12volts at the brake lights, if not, you have a broken wire, if yes, then earth/negative wire has come off somewhere... :wink:

check the fuse with a test light?

its pretty easy, check you have power (with a test light) on one side of the brake light switch and then on the other when you press the brake

if you do move to the rear and see if you have power (and earth) in the socket
