Before you try anything, check that the bank of 4 contacts are clean and making good contact, as this is where the light gets it's earth from,then check the wires on the R/H boot strut, the live feed is carried through the boot strut ! Some aftermarket boot struts do not have electoral continuity, a quick check would be to join the top and bottom spade connectors with a short piece of cable to bypass the strut.I have a 2002 puma in green
Noticed the boot brake light is no longer working how do you gain access to it?
That's what had to do when I replaced my boot struts - the new ones didn't have electrical continuity, so I had to join the top and bottom spade connectors with an insulated cable to get the boot brake light to work again.Before you try anything, check that the bank of 4 contacts are clean and making good contact, as this is where the light gets it's earth from,then check the wires on the R/H boot strut, the live feed is carried through the boot strut !

The high level brake light has if I remember correctly 4 X 501bulbs and it would be rare for them all to fall, access is by removing the plastic trim and you'll probably lose the spindle in the centre of the fixings that the boot string attach to.
