Rear window brake light

Featured Replies

After following my wife home tonight I noticed that the rear window brake lights dont work, all of them. I checked and they are not burnt out. The r/h and l/h ones work just fine. I tried to find a fuse which controls this light exclusively but no luck. Did I miss something? What are the possibilities? This is on the 97 OBS.

Check the wiring where it passes into the top right of the hatchback. Peel back the rubber boot. On my 97 OBS, the continual flexing of those wires had broken several (rear brake light, rear lock and rear wiper). Had to splice new wire in across the break.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to check that out as soon as the car is home when I am. It sounds like a possibility since there does not seem to be a fuse or relay specific to that light.
