Can somebody please help me with a electrical fault?

[Paul Y]

Good evening Gentlemen,

For those of you who have read my build thread you will know full well that I am not keen on electrics.

Might be because I feed the damn Mogwai after dark or some other cardinal sin but pretty close to the match and petrol resolution, well if it was warm enough for the petrol to ignite....

Anyway lets talk brake lights...



Those on my passenger side fail to operate. Changed the bulb from the drivers side and still not lighty.

Chased the cable back to the junction on the drivers side and tested it there.



From what I can make out there are 3 wires into the junction which then split it into left and right tail light, left brake and indicator and right brake and indicator (and of course the number plate light)

I have power to the tail light on the passenger side.

I have power to the indicator on the passenger side.

What I don't have is a brake light.

How can that be possible? The indicator 'flashes' the brake light, and the brake light wire from the cab is shared with the drivers side. only splitting at the junction.

So, could someone far more intelligent than I make a suggestion? Or lend me a lighter....

P.
