    Hi,

    A warning light has appreared saying my rear central brake light bulb is not working. I have checked all the fuses which are OK, and have tried to look at the assembly which is very neatley fitted into the top of the rear wing over the rear screen. I've pulled the internal plastic souround off, but can not see how to get it out to check the bulbs, the connection block, the circuit via a multimeter or the assembly itself.

    Can anyone help?

    Car is A6 Avant V6 3.0 TDI Le Mans

    Oli.

    have you tried poking your meter probes into the wires,through the insulation
    of the wires, in the area where they pass from the car to the rear tailgate?
    i'm only guessing but assume they would be leds, not bulbs,and your problem may be
    due to a faulty brake switch, which i believe has two sets of contacts,feeding low level
    lights / high level / ecu ?
    regards,
    stewy.

    Thanks Stewy I'll have a look.
    The other main rear brake lights on the tail gate and the main body are OK, so could be.
    Yes, I think they are LEDs.
    cheers
