I have a Peugeot partner from 2001, 1.4 liter gasoline.
The brake light and dim light are not functioning. I did the following:-
1- changed new bulbs for brake lights and dim lights
2- changed a new switch for the brake pedal
3- I checked all the fuses in the pasenger compartment and engine hood.
4- measured resistance at the sockel. For the brake light, the resistance changes between 40K Ohms and 20K Ohms depending if brake pedal is depressed.
5. for the dim light, resistance is 0 Ohms.

The reverse lights are functioning. The turn signaling lights are functioning.
Anyone with some idea as how to get my brake light and dim light back?

Hi make a diagnose with pp2000, on bsi, it can help you.

Did you check for power across the fuses or just a visual check?

Is there power getting to the brake switch?

I took out the fuses and checked resistance. All the fuses are fine.
you mean I remove the brake switch and then check if there is power on the contacts?
I dont have diagnose PP2000. Would pp2000 show errors for the brake light?

You mean check all the relevant fuses while they are on place?
you mean remove the brake switch and check voltage across the contacts?
if there is no voltage across the switch, what does it mean?

Today I bought the whole light system including the sockel for 100$ from a second hand shop and changed the whole rear light system on both sides. I got very interesting results which is different from the old light system. In the old light system, I used to have a working DIRECTIONAL and REVERSING lights on both Left and Right sides.

In the new light sytem I got very strange results:

- the DIRECTIONAL LIGHT is working on both sides on the back.
- the BRAKE LIGHT on LEFT is ON always whether brake pedal ON or OFF
- BRAKE LIGHT is OFF always whether brake pedal ON or OFF
- REVERSE LIGHT is not working on LEFT side
- REVERSE LIGHT is working on RIGHT side
- DIM LIGHT is not working on LEFT side
- DIM LIGHT is not working on RIGTH side

I have attached the schematic for PEUGEOT PARTNER

I don't have diagnose PP2000 yet. Would pp2000 show errors for the light sytems and brake light in particular?

Just an update,

I took out the lamp holder, tested all the lamps while they are in the lamp holder by feeding 5V DC.
All the light work with out problem. I did the same with the old lamp holder. All work at home.
Then placed the lamp holder back into the car.
Except the DIRECTION LAMP, nothing works in the lamp. Therefore I measured the voltage at the sockel without the lamp. I got 13.5V and 12V for the brake without the lamp. But if I put the lamp back, I get no voltage!!!
Any one with some idea why I get voltage 13.5V and 12V at the sockel without the lamp but 0V with the lamp?
This is really strange result!
