Tail lights

[andy1912]

Hi

I've just discovered both my tail lights are out. Front lights are fine. I checked both the fuses for right and left and they're fine. Checked a couple of bulbs one blown other OK. I'm imagining a break in the cable travelling from the front to the back of the car. However thought I'd just check with you guys there is nothing else that might be problematic eg a common relay...

Thanks for any ideas.

It is more likely to be a corroded earth connection to the chassis. If you have a multimeter you can see if you are getting 12v at one of the terminals by grounding the other multimeter lead to the chassis somewhere.

The rear fog light and reversing light use the same earth, so check those too. I think it earths somewhere near the 3-way brake Union behind the seat bulkhead.
