If the brake lights on your 1998 Citroen Xsara were working and now they are not, but the bulbs are fine, the issue may be with the brake light switch. The brake light switch is a small electrical component located near the brake pedal that activates the brake lights when the pedal is pressed. It is common for these switches to fail over time, resulting in non-functional brake lights. I recommend checking the brake light switch and replacing it if necessary to restore proper brake light functionality.
replace the relay under the hood Also check brake lights switch had the same problem switched bulbs and worked fine
The brake lights are accessed through the rear hatch. Find the panel on the rear sides of the car. Pop out the panel and access the brake lights. Replace the bulbs.
on some cars the tail lights and brake lights are totally different bulbs gain access to the bulbs and have someone push the brakes so that you can determine which bulbs are the brake lights and replace the tail lights
AnswerThe bulbs for the brake lights are usually separate from the normal tail light bulbs. Check and replace the brake bulbs first, and if they are still not working examine the fuses, switch and wiring.
its on different bulbs
fuse, bulbs
you do not adjust the brake lights check the bulbs or check switch top of brake pedal.
you probably need to lift up on the brake pedal a couple of times to reset the brake switch. worked on our 86
The brake lights and tail lights are separate wiring systems. Even some of the bulbs may have two separate bulbs in the same glass housing. If the bulbs are in fact working, then the next step would be to test the brake switch under the dash. When you depress the brake pedal the switch is pushed creating a connection to turn on the brake lights.
