Mines is saloon so it’s different. Just number plate lights and switch for boot is flexy wire going threw. Any other ideas? Would honestly be happy to pay treble time to get to bottom of this as the car can’t be used with just 1 rear brake light working!  Cheers Gareth 👍

Hello Stephen,

Can we take it you have checked for good earths at the rear brake light units? 

If good:- You say you have checked all wiring for breaks - including stripping back the flexible rubber sleeving section where the wiring harness passes from the body, into the boot/hatch? Favourite place for breaks/partial breaks due to years of flexing, so always a suspect area. 

Could you let us know how you get on? 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

reaHi guys, I’m Audi threw and threw have had many over the years. At the min have three! 2001 s3 8l, pd130 a4 auto, also a 2006 a6 saloon auto. My a6 had a few problems when purchased. Abs and lights, so changed front left wheel bearing and abs sensor clearing that fault 😜 no number plate lights so stripped the light coupling/housing changed to standard bulbs solving that fault. The Rear window brake light works but the one in each side of rear lamps don’t? 🙈 changed bulbs (standard?) and still no lights. Checked and no power supply to the bulbs when pedal pressed. I’ve checked all fuses/relays for broken wires etc and all good! I’m at end of tether with this! 
Any suggestions/help much appreciated folks.
