My rear left tail-light has stopped working, but all other electrics seem to work fine. Could someone tell me what fuse this runs on, and anything else that runs on this fuse?

I replaced the bulb today, and that didnt fix anything, so I'm going to check the fuse next, unless anyone has any other possibilities..?

Cheers. Guy.

...I think the dash lights are on the same fuse as the tail lights, but the dash lights work fine...

UPDATE:

I was curious, so I double checked all other lights, and the front left side-light is out too!!

I thought the rear lights were related to each other, and the front sidelights related to each other, surely not left-hand-lights and right-hand-lights...?!

Is this a coincidence..?

Cheers. Guy.

Unless your car is originally German spec or is injection then the left and right tail lights are on the same fuse.

For injection cars the right hand tail and sidelights and instruments are on the line fuse with red and red/white wiring (15 amp), the left hand tail and sidelights, dim dip system and number plate lamp are on the bottom fuse in the main fuse block (15 amp). Don't ask me why.

Thanks Dan!

My dim/dip system works fine, but I've just noticed that the number plate light isn't working, so it must be the fuse! :lol: (it's an spi by the way :thumbsup: )

Cheers. Guy.
