Brake Lights stopped working

[Hag]

On a run yesterday in the Midlands(Ireland)my brake lights stopped working...the connections in the bootspace are fine, I didn't have anything in there at the time...where should I start looking for the problem?

Bearing in mind that the nearest Lotus dealer is 160 miles away and the local mechanic isn't familiar with the car...if there was somewhere obvious that I could tell him to look at first, that'd be great.

If the bulbs and connections are ok, then it will probably be the brake light switch.

This might help...

Oops. I really need to update my profile.

It's Series 2 Elise now, Type 72, that's the car I have the problem with, I've sold the Elan.
