Sorry to ask silly questions, but have you checked the brake fluid level is correct? If the relay was the issue I'd not expect you to have any brakelights at all? Also, you didn't fit LED bulbs perchance? If they don't have ballast they make the old check circuits think the bulb is dead.

All bubles are working rear lights and brake lights i haven't changed anything to LED either, when i start the car up all dash lights are off as normal but as soon as i hit the brake, that's when my dash lights for hand brake and brake lamp come on and stay on ? I haven't yet checked my brake fluid levels to be honest ill so i will go have a little look to see if everything is correct with thatindigolemon wrote:Sorry to ask silly questions, but have you checked the brake fluid level is correct?

Re: Brake lamp relay ?? For 3G
I try this
change all your bulbs at the rear with some new ones although they seem to work ok
Worked a treat for me when I had the same brake lamp problem
