Do you have the owners manual? One under the dash on the drivers side but I also think there is one under the bonnet. Not sure as I don't have my manual in front of me.

I got dibs on it's not the fuse but the brake light switch. They were about $30 about 1.5 years ago. Got mine from the UK for $10.

Check your fuses first but I'm leaning towards the switch. The brake light switch is an easy job and you can also check this by placing a wire across the terminals.

Fuse F25 in the passenger compartment under the fascia below the steering wheel is for both the brake & reverse lights. If you have reverse lights, & no brake lights, the brake light switch could be the culprit. Bob

Thanks guys.

I did check the manual when arrived home. Yes it is fuse 25 but on the book it says 25A but on the cover it says 15A.

Anyway checked that and fuse is good. Checked all the brake lights and yes they all gone and yes they all gone at the same time. Changed all of them and all good now.

I just remember I tried to charge my new iphone through usb charger before left home. It could be the cause.

Thanks again. Gus

Gus, I would keep checking your brake lights for a while, the only item common to all three bulbs is the brake switch, as far as I can work out. The RH light also has a separate earth point to the LH, & top light. Bob

Hope you got it sorted. My fuse kept blowing due to moisture in the lamp in the bumper. Fixed and all good. Was a broken gasket.

So far so good but now keep asking wife or daughter whether the lights are ok before going anywhere
