Red driving lights at rear and number plate light sometimes dont work. The Parking Lights work, brake lights and indicators work but as soon as I switch on the headlights the rear lights go out.
It seems to be an intermittent problem, twice this week it happened at night, the first time they came on after I had pulled over. Second time I pumped the brake pedal a few times to see if brake lights were working (they were) and hey presto on came the rear driving lights.
Last night I took off the inside rear corner covers to look at the wiring , fired her up an all lights were working, turned her off and on again = rear driving lights not working! The bulbs look fine
Is there a logical step by step process to troubleshoot this? Thanks.
