Rear Tail Light Problem.

[Jimbob]

Hey guys I'm having a issue with my LH rear Tail/Stop light the rear light will not come on but when you brake the brake light will come on globes have been replaced twice in case of dodgy globe any idea's on what might be causing it.

Cheers

Jim.

is it just me or does that make no sense at all :headbang2:

yea, ah I dont get it! Jimbob, perhaps rephrase what yr asking.

I think he's saying the tail-lights don't work, but the brake lights do.

Have you checked your fuses?

[Jimbob]

Well when I put my lights on the RH hand side tail light works but the Lh does not, when you apply the brakes the brake lights both work.

Its not the globe as both globe has been replaced twice in case of a fault with the globe.

Yeah looked at the fuse's but they all seemed to be fine ill replace them anyway just to make sure.

it might be shorting out somewhere

Couldn't be a fuse then if one side is working...must be either a break in the wire (like the freak above reckons), dodgy plug, or the circuit isn't earthed properly.

For those who want to change their rear stop/tail lamp 21/5W themselves in the FG here are the instructions I wrote up including pics.

Why would you make that into a PDF instead of just posting the details to a new thread haha. Well done, gaz.

Just makes it easier to print off and also update (at my end).  I think there used to be a counter somewhere to see how many times it was downloaded but does not seem to appear on the screen with this new forum software?

 

Globes only cost me $4 for 2 of them at Repco with my RACV discount as well.

 

Also wanted to find out how many people would find the ummm Easter egg in the doc ...
