Rear & break light issue

[dicksog]

Hi

Thought I'd ask in case anyone's encountered this before I go charging in.

Warning light came up on the dashboard for one of the light bulbs, also lights up when the brake pedal is pushed, so assumed the brake light bulb had gone. However, if I switch the lights on the right hand rears come on, the left though is completely different. The filament of both the rear light and brake light glow weakly for a very short time then go out. This repeats about every ten seconds. All other bulbs in the cluster work normailly.

Anybody encountered this or have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Ok I eventually gave up and took it to a autoelectrical specialist, he found that it's the IGE Electronic module, part no. 195742, located in the passenger footwell. Now off to find a replacement or refurbishment.
