Brake Lights Main FUSE ANYONE KNOW please

Hello
Does anyone know if the freelander 2 2008 TD4 have a fuse just for the brake lights. I suspect it maybe the switch, but I cant get that out.

If you do know where it is and its number location please let me know.

Thanks

The stop lamp switch is attached to the brake pedal bracket, adjacent to the speed control inhibit switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, a plate on the pedal moves away from the switch plunger allowing the plunger to extend and complete the switch contacts. The switch receives a permanent, fused battery voltage via the BJB and the CJB. The switch is connected to the ECM which provides the ground path. The ground (battery voltage signal) is used by the ECM as a switch operation signal. The ground from the switch is routed via the CJB to the ECM which allows the CJB to also determine the switch operation. The CJB uses the completed ground when the switch is operated to activate the stop lamps. The ECM can diagnose the operation of the stop lamp switch and the status of the switch can be read using a Land Rover approved diagnostic system.

The brake pedal switch has fuse F28 in the passage fuse box (bottom right), the lamps are fed by a FET no fuse.

Well just an update as it may save someone else spending money they dont need.

The switch was fine, but the switch has a small earthing wire, the clip that holds it in place on the body was being rubbed by another wire and broke it and also blew the fuse.

Well, this what the mechanic told me.
