Ye I know where they are, was just being lazy and hoping someone would know. Think it could be one in engine bay, think remember now thought about it seeing it on fuse cover. Cheers guys :)

Just thought, is there separete fuses for each rear light? I guess there must be..will investigate tmw

If it's not the fuse, it could be the rear light sensor module, it's clipped to the back of the off side rear light.

 

I had this problem on mine, rear offside light not working/no power to it, but the offside brake light still

worked.

 

Found the light sensor module had blown

^^^^ This

 

There is not a seperate left and rigth fuse, but the light sensor module is a prime failure candidate.

Ah ok cheers Dave, anyone got one for sale? lol

I'm not sure if other members agree, but I bypassed my light sensor module.

 

As it's function is to give you lights warning when a bulb fails

Ah so dont need one then...tell me more :)

As I said, that's IMHO it's not required, other members opinions may differ.

 

You two options to bypass the light sensor module:

 

Cut the loom and join the wires

 

Or

 

Use 6 crimp mini male spade connectors and 3 lengths of wire

Simply acase of unplugging the module, then looping 6 connectors together on the 8 pin connector.

Don't worry a picture will show how easy it is.

 

BTW this is how I bypassed the light sensor module
