Brakelight problem

[silver surfer]

All 3 are permanently on even when not pressing the brake pedal!!
Only switches off when ignition is off with only the radio playing.

Any ideas what it might be before I see the garage?

There's a switch near the pedal that can get knocked, or a diode in the footwell:

Look at item #11

If the switch is ok then there is a diode in the loom close to the BC1 that has a habbit of shorting.....not many people know that.

Cheers all, All fixed....like you said, loose connection.

No expense needed.
