Problem with lights

Hi All,

My passenger side rear tail and rear fog lights have stopped working.

The bulbs are fine, (they work in the other side)

The other three bulbs in the cluster work ok?

Fuse? problem with bulb holder tray? (I couldn't see anything obvious?)

Any ideas welcome.

PS I've just changed one of my headlight bulbs this afternoon.

The instructions in the manual are wrong! for my car anyway.

You have to pull the headlight unit forward as soon as the click is heard, if you follow the insructions and turn the retaining bolt through 180 degrees the headlight unit will not come out! spent nearly 30 minutes trying!
 
The passenger side fog light shouldn't work anyway - only the drivers side.

The fuse box is in the drivers footwell - little plastic panel with a hole in it to allow you to open it by pulling with your finger.
The fuse list is inside on a piece of paper. You might well find both rear sidelights are on the same fuse though [&:]?
 
Hi Mark

Thanks for the quick reply.

It was the fuse.

Turns out the rear tail light shares a fuse with the front sideight which I hadn't noticed was also out!

Thanks again.

Steve H.
