Just getting the Mk1 (82' GTi 1.6) MOT ready and had to replace a couple of blown (continental) fuses.
Replaced fuse 6 and now my brake lights are stuck on!!
I've removed the fuse box, cleaned all the connections and refitted, then I removed the rear light boards, cleaned all the connections and refitted along with the earth inside the boot, followed by cleaning the connections on the brake light switches…..
Please help as I'm about to give up and give it to VW to sort in-line with the MOT.
Cheers
Paul

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

Should I just replace them both?

Use a DVOM and measure the resistance, which ever one is 0 ohms that is the bad boy and is stuck.

Unfortunately, I don't have any electrical testing equipment at the moment, so I will give it to VW to work out which one is faulty.
Thanks again
Cheers

There's me wasting hours cleaning the connections on the fuse box first…. but at least I now know that the fuse box connections are good.
Thanks for your help
Cheers
