Help! C34 S1 brake lights dead (tail/park fine)

[floody]

Having some dramas, my partner's S1 RS4V lost its brake lights yesterday. High mount, sides and centre all dead. Park/Tail/reverse lights fine.

Stuff I've checked:

-There's no voltage at the pedal switch

-Brake light fuse intact, swapped with spare, no change, measured no voltage at fuse.

-Globes fine.

 

I'm tearing my remaining hair out, and I have about 24 hours in which to get it sorted.

 

The ATTESA pump is also priming abnormally long and intermittently chucking the 4WD light. Both things have happened inside a couple of days so I feel there may be a connection.

Solved issue.
Someone had tapped the 12v feed and it had partly fried, this in turn caused the pedal switch to fail. Ran new wires and replaced switch.

Worth checking. I have a D21, had a look at it, someone had tapped the same wire on it for some long removed device, aaaaand the same on my HR31! Luckily they'd been done a bit better.
