Brake Light Failure

I'm having a recurrent brake light issue with my 2012 Peugeot 107 (gasoline engine) at 175610 km. The brake lights intermittently fail, and an error message appears. I suspect the brake light switch. Has anyone else had this?

I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. Same symptoms – brake light failure, error messages. Have you checked the bulbs? Also, wiggle the connector to the brake light switch – could be a dodgy connection.

Were the error codes identical on your Megane, and did you also suspect the brake light switch? What was the resolution? I've checked the bulbs and connectors, and they seem okay, but I'll check again.

The error codes weren't exactly the same, but brake light related. After messing about, I took it to a local garage. It WAS the brake light switch. Apparently, a common fault. Save yourself the hassle and get it checked out by a pro. Could be something else.

Turns out, after fiddling with the switch, I simply needed to properly connect it. It wasn't properly attached. The error is gone. Repair cost: 0€.
