brake lights stopped working...
1987 carrera...during my long trip to Nova scotia, I was made aware that my brake lights are not working...upon my return to Toronto, I checked the fuse #7 and just in case replaced it...then bought 2 brake lights switches from a porsche dealer and in stalled them...BRAKE LIGHTS STILL DO NOT WORK!
Any suggestions ? |

Many if not most issues with lights are ground issues. Check all the grounds. Check them again. Try a temporary ground to just so see if that is the issue if you can't find the bad ground.
Also the bulbs in the tail lights are a weird metric size. Standard bulbs from the local auto parts store often don't really work. Check the connectors at the back of the socket. Look for corrosion. Try to get a bulb that is a tight fit.

very unlikely for 3 bulbs to break at the same time...

Only brake lights failed? If so I'd start checking power wires and confirming all grounds are tight and clean.
