rear brake and fog light

[Vausey_Nova_Knotla]

doesnt work on one side cheked bulbs swaped over and works fine on other side is there a type of bulb to get or something?

[vaughanmc]

Fog light will be a single filament(sp) bulb and your brake light is also your driving/tail light so it'll be double filament(sp)

the bulbs are fine and arent broke and are as described jw why they arent working electical fault maybe ?

When you say brake and fog, you mean both those on one side aren't working? Is the tail light filament and indicator working?

thats correct jack brake light and fog light on one side are working and bulb filaments are spot on and when i swap bulbs over from left brake and fog to right the right side works stil meaning the bulbs were ok and left side wont work .

there is only 1 foglight and 1 reverse and have you checked the fuses as the rears are seperate feeds iirc.

will check fuses thanks :thumb:

Both rear brake lights use the same fuse, number 7 according to Haynes. Foglight is fuse 5 I think.

As said, could be the bulb holder thats borked. Try swapping the holders over and see if that makes a difference.

thanks pal im guessinf its the holder as its nakard already not fasning in so may have been deoped or sumthing in past but as said bulbs are fine tah

Sometimes the bulb holders just get a bit corroded and need scraping with a thin flat headed screwdriver, thats what I'd try next. Hope that helps?

Got a multimeter? Or one of those elec screwdriver things with the bulb inside. See if you have a feed to the rear light. The problem could be with the headlight switch.
