Default Press brake pedal = left headlight comes on?

Hi everyone,

I've just returned from a great drive in the hills around Bologna and noticed something strange as I was putting the car in the garage... When I press the brake pedal, the left headlight comes on (side light only). Has anyone else had this before?

I'm not sure if it's connected, but I occasionally get the brake pad wear sensor too - but not all the time which would indicate a poor connection somewhere, right?

Thanks!

Andy

Lightbulb

Check the rear parking/brake light bulb (and the brake light earthing).

Agreed - a bad earth will have the current trying to find another way home.
