Andrew,
Did the new switch sort this? Just had the same issue crop up on my car today, lights work so it all points to the switch - new one ordered.
Cheers

It was the brake light switch (or has to be).
Did the check you suggested plus I closed the circuit with a off-cut of electric wire. +12v at the plug with the multi meter and lights on with the closing of the circuit. (What did I do wrong with the first short circuit? I didn't have the keys in the ignition at one click prior to start engine). Rookie's Mistakes 101.
Will be getting a new brake light switch.
Regards
Andrew

Yes, fixed my problem. You can use a piece of wire to confirm by closing the circuit but wouldn't be to conerned either way.
I ordered mine from the UK and waited 2 weeks for it to arrive. Anything to save a buck.
A mototrist on the Bruce Highway at the twin BPs gave me the heads up that I had no breaklights (only doing 20km/hr in a traffic jam over Christmas). At the point of no return as I was heading to Noosa Heads.

Just confirming an old thread.
All three brake lights are not working.
Cruise control does not cancel via brake aaplication.
Reverse lights are working.
All fuses seem to be ok.
Reading thru thread it would appear i need a new brake pedal switch??
Anyone know where to buy one in stock in Melbourne??
Expertise welcome.
Cheers

You can try to adjust the existing switch and check if the connector is well plugged, depress the pedal and pull the plunger out of the switch's body to max allowed maybe it works
Discovery Td5 (2000), manual, tuned
Got the switch out & disassembled.
Plunger is not travelling full depth and gets stuck half way in allowing only limited travel.
Got to try & find one in stock due to limited timing until car goes back in for RWC.

Gee, they do seem to be thin on the ground...
I haven't seen him for a while, but there was a member on here from I think Kyneton (or Kilmore, "K" seems to stick) who wrecked D2s. A SH one would get you out of trouble. I'll try and remember his username. Maybe someone else will have clearer memories.
EDIT: Possibly no help, but I believe it's the same switch in the P38.
