Can anyone help please! Problem with rear lights.

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know where the fuse is for the driver side rear lights on a Chim 500 2002? All the lights are not working but the bulbs are ok. I know where the fuses are but I don't know which one is for related to the rear lights. Any help much appreciated.

There's four circuits there: indicator, brake lamp, tail lamp and fog lamp. Are none working? If they're not, but the nearside lights work, it is not going to be a fuse.

Many different fusebox layouts have been used and it's not obvious which fuse in each layout protects the lighting circuits, but check the eleventh from the right as a starter.

I had a problem like this, where some of the rear lights stopped working and I traced it to be the connectors in the door B posts, which had a light (no pun intended) corrosion on them. Cleaned them up and all back to normal again.

Matts right. If its just the rear pod thats gone off then it's not likly to be a fuse.
Do the indicators or hazards work?
I suggest you check all the connectors yhat you can reach starting with the bulb holders.
when i had problems it was caused by dirty contacts where the loom plugged into the light pod.

I've also had problems with the connections before.

Thanks for your replies. None of the rear driver side lights are working but the side indicators are working, I haven't checked the hazards as yet.
