Rear Light Help

[Patch 0]

My left side light doesn't work,however the brake light does.Any idea's as to what it could be? Does the side light have it's own fuse?

Is there 2 elements in the bulb, one for side lights the other for brake. Or is it just the one element that gets brighter for the brake light?

Could be as simple as one of the two filaments in the bulb being broken. Try the easiest and cheapest fix first, just swap the bulb for a new one! ;)

It's the twin filament type,tried new bulbs and tried a new bulb holder.Any other idea's?

Does the other side work fine?

Fuse number 8 is for tail and side light left side, check your sidelights at the front (one click on the switch). If your left sidelight is out too, then its fuse number 8 (10amp btw).

Interesting,sometimes my front left side light works,sometimes it doesn't.Rear left side light never works?!!!

I'd change the fuse then, or just check how it's seated, if the left front sidelight's affected too, then sounds like a fuse issue...

Now the daft question,where is the fuse box? Please excuse my naiveness,not had the car long.

Look under the steering wheel mate, there's a shelf and to the far right theres a small shell. Take that out by the 2 twist clips and it pulls out. The fuse box is behind it.

Yep,it was the fuse.Swapped it over now.Cheer's guys. :notworthy:
