Right, here we go, i will amaze you lot at pvs with my christmas tree lights!! :lol: ....when i\'ve got my lights on, and i brake, 1 rear light cuts out and my fog and reverse lights come on.

Better still, if my lights are on, and i brake AND indicate at the same time every single light at the rear flashes with on and off of its own accord! :o

Any help greatly appreciated as it look to me as its going to put a large dent in my pocket! :thumbs:

go into your boot, and pull the connector off the back of the light, have a look if its corroded (spelling?) slightly?? clean it up alittle bit, better with fine sandpaper, but a screwdriver might do it, then plug it back in

that happens all the time to my rear passenger side

if its not that, i dunno then :lol:

Corsa rear lights are terrible for playing up. it is normally due to a bad earth if they are not working or in your case, it just might be a cross wire.
