    It seems that my brake lights are coming and going. The centre brake light on the hatch still works like it is supposed to but the standard brake lights are coming and going. I get a lights warning light come on around the ignition lights when ever they are playing up.

    I figure it is a loose plug somewhere. Has anyone seen this one before?

    Cheers.

    Yep ive seen it,

    Black sensor box behind drivers tail light is failing.the reason the the center brake light still works is because it is on a separate circuit from the rest of the tail lights.
    You can bypass the box or fix as its usually the soldered connections between the male plug connector and circuit board have failed.
