Morning all,

Noticed last night my rear lights are no working. Also my two brake lights are also not working however the third brake light mounted above the spare wheel is fine.

Any ideas? Which fuse/s should I be looking at? Also where are these lights earthed?

Many thanks
James

It sounds like a broken earth. Your side lights and brake lights work on seperate systems so unless you have 2 faults I would check this first.
To see if it is an earth fault connect a piece of wire from the earth on one of the lights to the rear crossmember. Here is a link to another thread to tell you how to trace the original or fit a new one.
