No rear side light

Postby tommo76 » Wed Dec 13, 2017 6:44 pm

Hi all
I'm after a bit of help I have a mk7 transit but for some strange reason my drivers rear side light has stopped working.
The brake light still works fine as all the other lights and I have only recently swapped bulbs so a bit of a head scratcher.
Any advise would be gratefully accepted.

Cheers
Neil

Have you fitted the right bulb (380) stop and tail, other than that, check the connections on the plug as they are known to corrode away.

The only other thing that I can think off, is that the front side light on that side isn't working either..... Check fuses as each side is fuses separately...

Try swapping bulbs from other side just because your recently changed bulbs doesn’t mean it’s not a faulty bulb,I’ve had bulbs straight from a new box faulty so I’d take other side out and try it in to eliminate that possibility.
