[WorkInProgress]

Yep, the brake lamp doesnt work and I want to know why!

This is the one in my coupe's trunk and we all know it consists of a series of Led's. The question is: Are the Leds actually burnt out? Or are they wires in series, making the rest fail if only one burns out? OR do I possibly have a loose connection? ORRRR is there maybe a fuse burnt out???

I havent had time to check this out myself, but has this happened to anyone else?

Do you mean on your spoiler or on your coupe trunk lid? The same thign happend to my old coupe with the spoiler. Turned out the ground wire was worn, so I regrounded it and worked well --=Keith

LED burned out ??? Never. LED haves a long live, except, you make a short circuit (+) and (-) => Bang. Then... YES. And also the 3rd brigh light (or trunk lids) are saved via 10A fuse (like the tail lights and more)

What would I do ?
- check out the fuse (the 1st of all)
- check out the complete wire (like Keith described!)
- check out the connection to your trunk lids

... making the rest fail, if only 1 LED burns out ? => Abolutely NO !

Hope this will help you !
