MGTF high level brake light

[SlimChim]

I seem to have a fault with brake lights, they work except the high level.
Anybody give me a clue as to how I remove it without breaking?

[SlimChim]

hmm, I stripped back the tape from the protective sleeve but can't see any physical breaks...I guess it's going to have to be an auto-electrician :-(

I'll take another look.

On removal I see no retaining screws, can't see any way of getting to it from the boot side as all panels swwm to be welded in place covering the light area?

[SlimChim]

mine doesn't seem like the posted article 53 plate TF. Can't see anyway of getting it out and don't want to crack it forcing it.

[SlimChim]

which colours should I be checking?

[SlimChim]

thanks Steve if you can let me know...I guess I may not have gone far enough back stripping the tape as I didn't go all the way to the main loom

thanks all, found the black broken wire and now brake light working fine.

Also found a broken purple one which explains why the boot interior light doesn't work.
Couldn't easily find the other broken end so at the moment it can stay broken.

What a ball ache getting some of the tape off....need to gather my patience before tackling the interior boot light again
