Thalia Brake Light Error

I've got a 2005 Renault Thalia/Symbol diesel with 188500 km. Brake lights are acting up, throwing an error and logging a fault. Bulbs are fine. I suspect the brake light switch. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar issue with my Thalia. It turned out to be the brake switch, like you suspect. Is the error showing intermittently, or is it constant?

Thanks! The error is intermittent. Sometimes it pops up immediately after starting, other times after pressing the brake pedal a few times. Does that sound like what you experienced?

Yep, sounds exactly like what I went through. The switch is probably faulty. I recommend getting it checked out at a workshop. It's a simple fix, but better to be sorry with brakes.

You were spot on! I replaced the brake light switch myself this morning. The error is gone, and the brake lights are working perfectly again. Cost me absolutely nothing as I found a spare switch in the garage. Thanks!
