It starts with the Missus saying , R/H stop light doesn't work on her car . Seems simple enough. ROTFWL
So find 3 of them in garage , quick test on 12V tester thing on bench , they work.
Remove rear cluster ,try lamp , No go, try all lamps , no go . Just the 5W filaments.
Insert 12V tester to lampholder , switch on ignition, press brake pedal with stick. No go .
Get handbook ,brake lights on fuse 54 , Great ....OooH no fuse 54. Start yanking them all out , find a blown one in "Unused" Start car with intent to go and buy some fuses , gear stick is locked in Park because break light circuit is dead and pedal must be pushed to move gear stick .
From then on it just got worse and I'll be back later .
