Both brake lights have not been working, so ive changed the brake/stop light bulbs. Now when i brake (without lights switched on) my dashboard lights come on and my headlights flash!!
When the lights are switched on, all my lights - including my top brake light - are on and does not show me braking.
Can anyone hazard a guess as to whats wrong? Bad bulbs, or have i put it back together wrong somehow?
Any help would be appreciated please, before i get rear-ended or pulled up by road traffic

You have got a short circut. Mine did this when i changed my lights. Check you havn't caught or broken any of the wires in the loom. Also make sure the bulbs are in correctly. Its a simple thing but any one can put the bulb in the wrong way. I have

Thanks for replying Micky.
The bulbs didnt seem to click in as good as the ones that came out (original with the car). Im hoping its just cheap bulbs and getting some new ones will solve the problem.
Being thick - is wires in the loom the bit that plugs back in?

any problems just go to ford maybe

That sounds like an earthing problem.

Remove the lights and check the harnesses are not damaged and also make sure you have put the right bulbs in the right way round.

If all else fails you will need to get it checked out.

Thanks all.
Brought some more expensive bulbs and all is fine now. Fun while it lasted though - brake and your front lights flash..barmy.

Glad you got it sorted
