hello peeps!
like it says.....I need to go for battery charge and water, but lights are out!
what do I need to check to see if I can fix...garages all full of customers...
connections underneath MH body look ok, so fuse or switch at brake pedal?
anything else I need to look at?
took cover off one light and all bulbs are happy there...

Normally the lights are on two separate circuits so if a fuse blows only one side stops working. I would start with the switch at the pedal.

Brake lights are on one fuse, what year is your bessacarr? Check the fuse first. If you have a towbar and use a trailer board or additional rear lights via the towing socket that could cause the fuse to blow depending on the year of the vehicle.

It's easy to check a switch. Pull the two wires off, and touch them together - the brake lights should go on, and they'll go off if the wires are not touching.
