Rear light wires

[harveyc]

Hi all,
I have a problem with the wiring regarding the back (drivers side) light.
On taking the light cluster out to change a bulb the top of the white plastic box came off and some wires fell out.
I know its a long shot, but does anyone know which position these wires should be put back? I cant find any info on the internet.
If not then unfortunately it will have to be a trip to the garage 😞

Thanks in advance

What car is it?

What are the wires like on the other side?

You could check (carefully!) what the positions are on the other side.

The easy answer is to check the other side, they are probably the same.

However, as it looks like the contacts are broken off the actual permanent solution will likely be a trip to a scrappy & cut the plug & 6" wire ends off & graft it on to the end of the wiring loom matching the wires.

It does look rather like that. If those wires literally "fell out", it's unlikely that your problem was just a bulb...
