Hi, the light on the wing?
do any of them work? indicators/brakes/rear lights?
do the nearside lights work?

i never had a saloon, so don't know for sure, but i'dgo for a poor connection at the multi plug.
you can check this with a meter.

yep must be something simple, connection, broken wire, bulb holder? have you tried the new bulb in the nearside to make sure it works?

I have had a few bulbs stop working on the back of the Scorpio over the years - sometimes turned out to be corrosion on the light assembly where you push in and twist the bulb holder - quick rub with sand paper and all was working again.
