Ford transit mk 5 - Dodgy brake lights on mk 5 transit - Alistair001

Hi I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I've got a mk 5 transit and one of the stop lights was out, I changed the bulb and both stop lights wouldn't work, put the old bulb back in and one light worked, swapped the bulb again no lights????!!! I'm lost when it comes to electrics so any help would be very much appreciated thanks

Usual suspects on all Transit rear lights , are the connector blocks that go onto the lamp holders . Check for corrosion and overheated pins . You may now have blown a fuse .
