Hi to everyone,

Just noticed that all brake lights are not working on wife's 95
316. I did check the fuse & it looks OK.
Any hints what to check next, please?

thanks
jerry

The bulbs?

I once wasted half a day tearing things apart to get at the wiring,
only to discover that both bulbs had failed more or less
simultaneously.

Replace the fuse. Sometimes they look OK, but they aren't. They are cheap
too.

if it is a touring, then check the cables and wiring from the body to the
hatch, likely worn through somewhere///
