Vehicle:
As some local kids were hanging around asking questions about the car while I was doing some work, I ask them to have a quick look at the brake lights to check if they're working while I stood on the brake pedal. Nope. Completely dead. Also, 1 of the four tail lights was out.
Quick look at the fuses, found the fuse for brake lights and hazard lights is shared, and lo and behold, it was blown. This would be the same fault that was killing the indicator fuses previously.
Replaced fuse, all good. As the kids had gone home by now, I was using a crow bar to press down the brake pedal while I check the lights :)
Took the back panel off also to replace the blown tail light.
On to the next problem: the hazard lights don't flash!
