When I go over a bump or accelerate or just any kind of movement the stop light flickers :s And when your gunning it its constantly on because the vibration maybe ? I'm thinking a wiring fault but where do i start with this !? Anyone had this before  ________________________________________ New owner of a Moonstone 6 ! |

Could be the connection to the fans. It corrodes, if your Hitting bumps braking heavily it could break the connection causing the fans to go into failsafe ie on full speed. This Weill trigger the stop light |

N/S inner front wing.You have two round plugs down there. One is for the fan controls, and the other is the engine bay loom. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
