C4 grand Picasso brake light not working

jimbooth · 2018-01-29 23:46:25

Nct tomorrow, checked lights and found both brake lights were not working, just high level central light. Changed both bulbs and nothing! Checked bulbs on another car and both are fine! Checked fuses, all fine. Anyone anything else I can try myself, test is at 9-55 so am going straight after school run.

Its only a visual retest so if you can't get it fixed still go to the test. I presume youve checked fuses etc ?
