Freelander 1 Brake light switch woes, blowing fuse

Hey folks, is you suspect your brake lights are blowing a fuse then it’s pretty easy to test the circuits and find a short.
Shouldn’t need more than couple spare fuses, a standard automotive test light, jump leads and a bar to put between the driver seat and the brake pedal.

If you get stuck let me know and I’ll look at the wiring diagrams and help guide you to testing it.

Cheers

Thanks, from other posts on the subject, with the "2 amigos" being present it seems prime suspect is the brake light switch itself, looks like that should be checked/replaced.
Appreciate the offer of help which I will certainly take up if needed.
 
I'd go for the switch first and moisture in the bulbholders second. Make sure you check the wiring for chafing against anything else i.e.brake pedal, steering, etc.
