Peugeot Partner brake lights

Milltown17

Hi folks.
Im looking for some help in relation to my 2008 Peugeot partner van. I have a problem with my brake lights the centre light on the rear door is the only one working. The other two rear ones are not working. I checked bulbs and fuses and all seem ok.im looking for some info are they wired through something in common.any help would be appreciated

Does the van have a towbar. If so, do the brake lights work on a trailer plugged into it?

It has a tow bar but I have never used it.its got a wired socket on towbar. I presume thats wired from the two rear lights not working

It'd be wired into a CANBUS relay box yoke.

Look for corrosion in the light clusters too.

Check all the connector plugs as well. The centre bulb is connected to the passenger side cluster

I wonder why is the light on the rear door working. Where is that canbus box

Is there any other funniness, anything odd happen with the indicators/reverse light etc and brake pressed etc?
Any earthing issues I wonder?

It's a bad earth, I fixed this on my uncles van when nearly new.(same year) The earth wire is attached to a painted surface, scrape off some paint and attach with a nut and bolt, sorted!

Check to see if the points where the brake bulb makes contact in the holder are corroded. If they are try cleaning them up a bit if at all possible use a small file or sand paper etc but be careful with it as the whole assembly is pretty flimsy.

It's a very common issue with partners/berlingos the rear light assembly has a poor water/weather seal and moisture invariably finds its way in.

Hi
Selectamatic is correct I cleaned the connections where the bulbs fit in. And all was working fine after
