N/S Brake lights/Side Lights not working - Grant - 18-11-2013
So im a bit stumped with this. My N/S brake/side lights will not work. I have changed the bulbs, and plugged the cluster into the O/S to check it is working, and it is.
The indicator and reverse lights work. Could it be an earth problem?
It's obviously ( i assume) not going to be the switch as the O/S works.
Cheers

Checked the cables on that side for voltage?
RE: N/S Brake lights/Side Lights not working - Grant - 18-11-2013
Yep. There's voltage getting to the reverse/indicator but everything else is dead as a do-do. I have also cleaned up the earth for the lights at the back where the 'c' pillar is. I cannot see it being this though as my batteries are earthed here...

Don't know what would cause it apart from a break in the cable..
Maybe just run a cable over from the OS?
RE: N/S Brake lights/Side Lights not working - Grant - 18-11-2013
Yeah, I would rather not, finding the cause of the problem would be ideal. Worst case scenario, you're right, I'll do that.
Does it sound like an earth problem?

The light loom does run across from the OS to NS anyway iirc? If so, check for continuity between the two plugs, will prove if its a broken wire.
If it was an earth fault you'd usually get problems with all the lights on the cluster as they're all earthed the same place.

They're linked on phase 2/3 i think Tom so that'd be a good place to start

Sounds like a fuse
RE: N/S Brake lights/Side Lights not working - Grant - 18-11-2013
Why would it be a fuse if the n/s is fed from the o/s? Neither would work...
RE: N/S Brake lights/Side Lights not working - Jimbo - 18-11-2013
There still fused seperatly
I had a fuse go on an estate and only one side went out.
Could be diff on a hatch. Just an idea no need to get like that

Oh really? I'll have a look. Cheers
