Lights not working, help please

[Diablos-666]

A few weeks ago I had a warning come up to say that the passenger side rear indicator light was not working. I pulled over to check and all was working okay.

I had the warning again at the weekend and this time it wasn't working. So I pulled the light out to have a look, put it back in again and they worked fine.

I just had a text from a mate to say that he noticed my rear light / brake light and front LED lights were not working, when he was following me home Wednesday night (he forgot to text me when he got in)

It sounds like I might have to replace the rear light (sealed unit) but would the fault at the rear cause the front LEDs to stop working too?

You've probably got some moisture in there. Mine were doing the same.

You can try this:

Its fixed mine for now.... whether it'll last I don't know but heres to hoping

Wow. Thanks DS, I'll probably give that a try.

When I took the light off last weekend I had trouble getting the connector off. I noticed in your blog that you said to slide it out, do you slide it off to the side or the bottom?

Do you mean the connector that connects the rear light to the cars internal loom?
If so, mine had a red clip on it. You use a flat screw driver to move it towards the outer side of the car (from memory), once its off the light comes away.

Just checked and it's my rear passenger side and brake lights that are faulty but also my front drivers side LEDs that don't work.
I'm hoping the issue is linked.

Well I managed to source a 2nd hand rear light cluster for £220 and fitted it myself, now all the lights work including the fronts. Such a relief.

I've kept the faulty unit and will try the fix, as mentioned above.
