Hi,
My hippo failed it's MOT earlier today because of the number plate light not working. Took the lens off thinking it was just the bulb, but the wires had been snapped off.
The connectors were still on, but about 3-4inches down the wire had snapped. Initially thinking that someone had snapped them whilst trying to change the bulbs in the past, I just wound the wires back together and secured with electrical tape - job done - now have new MOT.
However, a while ago I noticed the rear window not demisting, with the demister ON. When I had the rear door card off today, I noticed that one of the demister connectors wasn't connected.
My question is - could the lowering / raising of the rear window cause the number plate lamp cables to snap and that's why it was disconnected??
I'm gonna have a better look tomorrow, but just wondered if anyone had experienced or heard of this??
Thanks.
