Just got the car back from a body shop, and they've forgotten to reconnect the high level brake light.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where this connector is located?

I'd rather sort this myself... didn't get a chance to look around too much last night before it got dark.

I just thought I'd post on the off-chance that someone would know.

Thanks in advance.

Thumbs up

I'll have a look in the Haynes manual when I get home, if no-one beats me to it

Take it it's a new boot then? Wonder if they have not threaded the wiring up?

Have you taken the light off to see if there are any cable holes in the boot, or does it come via the roof lining?

it was the rear nearside wing. They had taken the light clusters out for some reason, and now have put them back in and not connected the light up.

Its still the same tailgate.

Cheers for the replies, btw.

Found it!

Its a small plug, that slots into the OS rear light cluster. They'd not plugged it in.

Cheers anyway

... and I've just looked in the Haynes and it doesn't say anything about it!

Never mind, if you need owt in the future let me know, as I've got the book and a scanner (and nothing better to do with my time, according to the g/f)
