[Mk2] [Generic] URGENT HELP!!!

Post by TRINDA1664 »

Hello

I have just turned my car off and lights. But my rear lights have decided to stay on.

So for now I have disconnected the battery.

What is going on?

Thanks
Dan

Ive just checked and it is the brake light.

I have had a look near the pedal and i found bits of what it looks like a circular hard rubber washer on the mat.

What would this be?

Thanks
Dan
