wacky STOP light random fault - Piggy - 30-11-2012
not known this before on any pugs...
Drove in dark last night for first time in a while...noticed the STOP light on, but very very very faintly.
Being a OCD freak...I pull over, get the multimeter and torch out and check all levels, charging rates etc etc and nothing. The car isnt misbehaving and the engine appears fine.
So I carry on, now late for our appointment.
STOP light continues on but VERY faintly.
get home and notice that when I put it in reverse, the STOP light is bright, the coolant temp drops to nothing and the coolant warning light comes on.
I also have no reverse lights.
WTH?!?!?!?
before I start diggin around in the dark and bleeding everywhere...anyone got any ideas?!

Theres not that many, But go for the dash one first because your issue seems to be dashboard related
Makes sense and all that

all earths checked....hmmm...no change
checked voltage to reverse lights... 0.7vs?!?!
So did some fuse checking...
turns out a fuse had blown and then refused itself...allowing only minimal voltage through...
new fuse and fixed!!!
