check the other bulbs that arnt working... if the top one is working then the switch is fine. i think youll find you just gota replace a couple of bulbs...or check the bulb holders where they fit the light unit
hi there one was workin the day when got to hafords took one out and replaced it with the other then they all went off ,got new bulbs and they dont work
i would check that you got the bulb holder in correctly then cos they are sh@t to change ,and so easy to fit them wrong.... and make sure you changed the stop light bulbs,not the side light bulbs
hi got it went out again finaly found it one of the releys is we bit slack fiddled about we it and tightned up the prongs think i might need a new reley takeit i need to go to volvo for them
hi there is a fuse box in the boot behind the nearside trim in there there are some relays its usally one of these if you get somone to work the pedal you should be able to get it to click (by feeling them you should be able to feel which one it is ) i think it would be a dealer only item hope this helps thanks steve

hi again thank for the help from u guyswill try and sorse a relay its workin for now but just thanks again roy
hi again any one no ware i can get one of these relays for my brake lights thanks roy
I had a problem with my brake lights not working, it was the switch on the pedal, the contacts inside were dirty. A few minutes of cleaning and it was working fine again. It is a bit of a nightmare to remove the switch, but worth a try before going and buying anything.
hi there the prob is the relay not pedle switch but that good advise
