brake lights on murcie 6.2 egear

[nic360]

stuck on, with lights off, ignition off and mats not holding it on?!? any advice, is there a reset system or is it likely a brake light switch is faulty, if so is it a order from lambo london and is it an easy job to swap?.............will post some picts of my new car asap too............thanks

the 3rd brake light is an easy swap but the main ones are a little bit harder and will require a jack/ramp as the wheel will have to come off to remove the arch liner and some body panels at the rear. it sounds like it is a faulty switch, you are best off taking it to lambo london and ask them to test it sholdnt take too long as long as there is a free ramp

Check the brake light switch just above the brake pedal underneath the footwell. That might be the cause of the problem. Hope this helps.

No no no, that is not true the rear lights are very easy to get too.

All you have to do is unscrew the mesh shield at the rear behind the engine (about 8 small screws) then unbolt 1 bolt on either side of the back panel that is joined to the rear spoiler then disconect the number plate lights and simply pull that whole panel with rear spoiler back and just wedge it up out of the way.

2 Screws on each light, very easy to get to, undo these and then just pull them out towards the centre of the car.

Thats it, a very easy job to do.

If you need any help or pics to help mail me.

I would say it's a sensor of some kind, maybe have a look at eurospares.co.uk

You could try the main battery cut off switch turning it off then back on, if that fails disconnect the actual battery as this sometimes clears faults.

Be carefull if you are jacking it up because if you just jack one corner up it "could" split the front screen.
