I am working on a friends 240 wagon and I can't get the brake lights to work.I have checked the fuse,the bulbs,the switch and the socket connections.If the third light wiring thru the tailgate is cut would that kill all the brake lights? The car has elecrical isues,no brake lights,no rear wiper,no central locks.
I know why the rear wiper isn't functioning(wiring thru hinge is broke.)Does the central lock need all wiring intact for the door locks to work? Because the tailgate wires for that are broken as well.
I am usually good at figuring out things like this...

there is a round orange relay behind the instrument cluster called the integrity relay. this is most likley going to be your brake light problem. the hinge harness will be the wiper and third brake light problem.

I can't help much but I can say this...I have 2 245's that neither "3rd eye" brake light works...so that should not be the problem. Mine also has a very intermitant door lock one one rear door...with never a hicup in any of the others... so I'm guessing that one disconected should not be a problem...just guessing on that one tho...

did you check for power? at the stop light switch, out of the sw to the bulb sensor, from the sensor 2 wires, 1 to each side. good luck, chuck.
