This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm having a slightly weird situation at present. I'm getting a dash warning that my right-hand brake light is out, but it comes and goes. The warning will be on for a day or two and then all is well again for a day or two. It seems to me that it is either out or not out, so not sure what to do! Any ideas, anyone?

WG said: I suspect water or condensation in the light. Ah, okay. Any idea how to solve it?

POST 4Original post

You might first of all want to post what vehicle, and what the year of registration is...

POST 5Original post

May actually be the bulb incorrectly fitted, wrong wattage.

POST 7Original post

Open the boot, undo the light fitting board.one lug to squeeze, have a looksee. Is the wiring loose? Corroded? Broken? Water in the light fitting? Bulb not seated correctly? Begin at the beginning.
