BF wagon eye level brake light is not working have tested globe and globe is working. Also reverse lights not working

Have you replaced the light globe

look at reverse globe socket the wire that goes to the centre of the globe is most likely positve and the other wire on the side of the globe is car body. Or get a 12v dc probe from an auto shop and test the wires at reverse light globe connector.

Hi Steve Is this a new fault has it just started to occur for no reason. You need to start with the basics i.e. have you recently replaced any globes? not necessary brake light globes ,If you have re check it make sure its the correct one,(check it against the other side). make sure it's not fitted incorrectly upside down. remove it and try brake lights again. Move onto your brake lights remove eye level globe and brake light globes left and right now try brake lights does it still blow fuse if not check all globes, connections and local brake light wiring for any shafing. Fit each globe one by one if it blows again remove that globe and try the others, Do you have tow bar and electrics fitted Check and make sure wiring in or around the socket has not come adrift and shorting out the brake light circuit. If all the above fails get it inspected by a Dealer or auto electrician, as the fault may be a lot more involved. Preferably a dealer as they will have the correct information on your vehicle. Good luck

Is it the globe or no power to the socket?.... Either way above your number plate you'll see the lense and it'll have a clip or screws either unclip and remove or unscrew and remove there you'll find the globes

There could be a couple of reason why your brake lights are not working these are all common faults.

1.first remove the brake lens and check globes.
2.Next check the globe socket as they tend to get hot and the plastic housing brakes away so the globes don't connect.
3.get a test light and check for power.
4.if everything is ok then I would be replacing the brake light switch under the dash that makes contact with brake pedal.

good luck

as for the reverse lights if the bulbs are good and they are getting power it sounds like your backup switch in the transmission went out

test the brake light switch located at the brake pedal, disconect the switch & bridge the wires, turn ignition on if you have lights its a faulty switch (very common on ford falcons) if not check you have power at that plug, if power check the globes cause you could have blown globes as they are twin filiment globes (1 globe but 2 lights tail & brake) & the brake filiments might be blown.

If a bulb blows white the gas mix in the globe is incorrect and you probably got hold of a bad batch of globes from your supplier. Try buying your bulbs from another source and see if that works out better.

The globes on tail lights are usually 2 elements so just because ur brake when pressed works doesnt mean the second part of the globe is working id buy new tail light globes or at least see if both little wires are going from one point to the other it looks like 2 little power lines .if top and bottom are both going to the other side tgen its another prob but if top or bottom line are broke then thats the problem hope i didnt confuse u but im sure u will get what i mean when u have alook at the globe

it's on the transmission
