406 estate high level brake light

Unread post by deano1970 »

hi,
I have a 52 plate 2.0 hdi 406 estate, I noticed the high level brake light isn't working....I can't figure out how I get into it? I looked on halfords website and put in my reg number and it said the central brake light was made up of w5w bulbs?? looks like an led light to me,but either way, how do I get into it? any help and advice on thsi would be appreciated...thanks.....

further to this. I thought easiest place to start is the fuse? it's a 10 amp fuse and according to the book, it's fuse 11 ? problem is,which is fuse 11?? looked and cannot see the numbers inside the fuse box so how do I know which fuse to check? can't see any broken fuses when looking but there are a couple missing/empty..... but how do I know which fuse relates to which function? ie: fuse 11 for the high level brake light?? thanks in advance,dean............

Normally there is a diagram in the manuals that relates to the fuses. IIRC you have the diagram on a page, and then the next pages cover the fuses. Then there is another diagram, and another list of fuses. The first diagram is normally for the in-cabin fuse box, the second for the engine bay one.
