Corrado VR6 Electrical Problem - DougB
Hi- Car just had annual service.On returning home I noticed that when I use the footbrake the N/S front sidelight comes on with the brakelights.

Anyone know what could be causing this and could it be as a result of the service?

Coincidentaly the annual service is usually followed by an expensive period where previously unknown faults manifest themselves. On an 11 yr old car I suppose this is understandable.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards DougB.

Sounds like someone has fitted the wrong bulb in the rear light cluster, or have installed it incorrectly.

Thanks DD.

Guess what they had to fit to get it through the MOT? Brake light bulb.

I can take the car back and hopefully leave my chequebook at home.
