Can anyone help.

Basically my brake lights don't work, just found out on the M6 this morning!!

I have a LTI Fairway Driver 1997. I noticed that last night night whenever I was pressing on the brakes when the vehicle was stationary the back doors were not locking, but never thought much of it, but this morning on the M6 i had noticed in the reflection of a van's front window that my brake lights were not working can anyone help.

I have checked all of the fuses and they are all ok. I had this same problem a week ago but luckily I was getting a service and the garage simply changed the brake switch, but I do need a permanent fix without the hassle of driving 30 miles from work to get to the same garage.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

This may seem the obvious but have you changed the bulbs :?:
could the connections on the new switch have come loose????

Sometimes the obvious is right. I have had 2 rear bulbs that have never illuminated and I hadn't a clue what they were. The car has been in for 2 MOT's and 2 council inspections and also a VOSA check and these lights have never been lit. The other day the back light was broken in a small accident and we fitted a new one and I changed the bulbs whilst I was at it. Guess what they are rear lights and both bulbs were not working. :oops:
