Fitted a new rear foglamp to our camper earlier, to replace one that had fallen off, bulb appears fine but it just doesn't work. There's power to the switch as there's an LED that lights when switched on.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Cheers.

Headlights on? If an LED replacement, is the bulb/wiring the correct way around?

Headlights on, it's a like for like replacement so using the 2 wires I used previously.

Yes, need to see if I've got voltage at the lamp.

Got a meter, but having just moved house it could be anywhere.

Never assume a bulb is OK. Test with the battery by using a short length of wire.
