Hi!

I got a TD5 90 -02 and I would like to get the 3rd brake light working (needed for MOT).

As the connections to the back window heating element is all broken off, I thought the easiest way would be to re-wire the brake light. Not overly fussed about getting the rear defroster working at this time.

Would anyone be able to tell me which wires I need to extend up to the light? I got one wire on one side, but two on the other. Its been like this since I got it, but it do not look like any other connectors or wires are missing.

I would be very grateful for any help

Get a test light and see which wire comes on with the brake light, extend it up to the bulb holder and earth the other side.
Otherwise you could probably find a loom connector near the lower brake lights and follow the wire.
Connectors look a bit green.
 
Sensible and nice to get it working obviously, but my Alfa got an MoT with the high brake light marked as optional - not working in the advisories.

Not sure why because that doesn't fit the rule - which is - if you tell the tester it's disconnected he must give you the benefit of the doubt and pass it. Yes, even if it's factory fit.
