hi all, we have had several minis over a 20 year period, and the kids love them so we bought one for him when he left school and used it for his leaving party, then laid it up for him to work on, but after all the teathing problems of a car thats been laid up for almost a year its brake lights wont work!! ive done the normal, bulbs, fuses and the normal " everything looks ok" thing but still they refuse to work, any ideas before i have to dig out the electrical tester? heres a pic of his yelow mini with my wifes green one. happy miniyingAttached File  40600004.JPG   888.47K   11 downloads

Well the only thing you haven't mentioned is the switch, so maybe have a look at that?

If not, just get the electrical tester out and follwo the circuit, sounds like you could have a broken wire somewhere.
