Re: [Peugeot-L] 405 DL Brake Light issue

Simon,

No fuse blown. No bulbs burned out.

I had wired together the green wires last year (green means ground right ?) because one of them was frayed which had caused a burn mark on a connector. It worked for a year -- fine.

Now none of the rear lights for brake work. I'll try a volt meter but I don't think any juice is connecting to the bulbs at all.

For testing the ground connection should I connect an external wire to the car chassis to the green wires ?
