Advice Needed: Rear Brake Lights

[fezz]

Both rear brake lights and centre light (top of boot) have just stopped working together. Ive checked the fuse and its fine.

Therefore:

if 1 bulb goes does it stop the others working?? surely it cant !!!
and
SEAT reckon it could be a brake light switch which costs £60 to fit....... is this likely??

Thanks

try searching for brake light switch... There's quite a lot of info on here about it and from memory it sounds about right?

Cheers!! Booked it in at APD to be replaced as it sounds like thats the issue

fezz - don't book it in. I did mine in 10-15 minutes and its not a tec'y job, very simple. The part costs about a £5 at any GSF and is a stock item cause they always break (I carry a spare now).
