   Hi guys both my rear break lights and reverse lights dont work. the indicator and the headlight lights come on but when breaking or reversing no lights at all. it seems its coming from the two inner bulbs. so did the usual replaced the bulbs, cleaned the connections, made sure they were plugged in propper, makeing sure their are no tears (now two cables liiked as if they were squashed but the cables havnt torn apart just look like they have been pliered. And still no joy. checked all earths as i needed to a couple of weeks backs so not that. And no joy problem is i need the car operational for work tomorrow so want to try and fix the issue asap. headlight problems have always happened to this car from day 1.
   
   Any ideas guys?

   well fixed lol that was the quickest troubleshoot. it was the j7 15a fuse under dash and 1 bulb. all sorted admin close this thread if you want to.
