406 2002 90hp hdi ignition stays on and no brake lights.?

[aidyk]

this car came in with no brake lights and ignition wont switch off, sometimes if you touch the brakes car switches off with key out but not always. anyone come across this before ? possibly save me a load of checking . im guessing a fault in the bsi or engine fusebox.

have u taken the brake light bulbs out , just thinking if someones but the wrong bulbs in , say a single instead of a double ? l know the escorts if they had the wrong bulb in and sidelights where on u couldnt switch the engine off without turning side lights off ,,

oh aye yes i know wat your saying ok ive came across that alot over rthe years myself no nothing as simple as that, brake lights are ok in conjunction with side lights, cheers anyhow boss .

switch off, sometimes if you touch the brakes car switches off with key out but not always. .

It's Frogench - so guess two faults.

1) remove key Stall it - see it kills the ignition - if it does - cut the small
D+ wire on the dynamo - fit a diode facing towards the dynamo

2) *THINK* brake light switch is ~~~~ed - or manky fuse

3) CHANGE ALL 5 AMP FUSES BEFORE DOING READING ABOVE SUGGESTIONS.

Agreed with MH have a look under the drivers footwell very common wiring getting rotten also causing ABS wheel speed sensors fault or, non start some times. so worth having a quick look

Edited: Even the Ignition loom do give problem sometimes
