Tail lights not working

ricky602 · Sep 3, 2019

I’ve just noticed my tail lights and number plate light aren’t coming on. Checked fuse and looks good, bulbs all look good, can’t see anything obvious. The brake lights are still working however. Any suggestions?

Remove the rear panel in the tub & check the feed to the lights.

Also don’t rely on the fuses. Still check for power at the fuse board.

Id say its the light switch at the steering column or a bad earth.

Yes the front side lights are both working fine

So if the fronts are working fuses are fine.
Problem is on the rear loom.
As per earlier post now check for power at the rear.
Also what motor & year is it?
Thanks

If it's an oldy like me, it'll be the bullet connectors. Take them apart and check for juice on feed side. Clean up and put back together.

I something simular to this recently.

The fuses (old class type) in mine where not reliable and I cleaned the connectors and replaces, this then made the lights work 99% of the time.
