Hi no tail lights today but brake lights still work,I have been looking up possible causes and tail light sensor comes up.I have searched and cant find any sensor,i have 99 lookalikes.Any ideas thanks.

It's a black box, about the size of a fag packet, driver's side rear corner, behind the trim, could have dry solder joints...

The tail light sensor is a little black box behind the drivers rear plastic cover in the boot, behind the right hand light cluster.

:)

Thanks guys ,going to swap mine with a mates see if it cures it.

have you tried turning the lights on First. before looking. Its the thingy on the stalk by the round thing. it does something and suddenly you can see light. :)

haha :thumbup1:

Lol i am a bit daft sometimes ,but not on this occasion it was indeed the little black box.

Cool, you had us thinking allsorts there mate :lol::lol:

Only one light working now,strange when i changed the sensor all was fine,its starting to really bug me now.

Fixed at last,had to get an auto electrician out £50 he bypassed the taillight sensor.Dam i wish i more car knowledge,save myself a few quid on something which is probably an easy fix for most of you.

I have never really been that involed with electrics either. I'm just mystified as to why and what this light sensor does.

Its rear light control box it senses a bulb out through the circuitry and lights a, bulb out light on the dash.

thank you Groover.
