If the brake light turns on you have to fix the ground connection.
Both brake lights not working vw polo.
Many of the newer third brake lights are led which means they do not have bulbs and you need to replace the unit.
It could happen due to a loose connection of the wire or the corrosion or damage of the wire ends.
Connect the light switch to a good ground with a jumper wire and press the brake pedal.
If the third brake light flashes then most likely a fuse has gone bad.

Hey guys both my brake lights stopped working on my vw polo 2001 1 0 someone told me its the brake light switch but my middle brake light closer to the roof still works fine which makes me think it cant be the switch or are they connected to the different parts.
Remove extract the ignition key from ignition switch.
Check all fuses and make sure they are not fried.

If you see that the third brake light is the only one not working try your emergency flashers.
Holding the brake pedal up install the brake switch and turn until it latches.
