Title: Back light
Post by tonyboy on Oct 10^th, 2009, 1:51pm

Hello. having problems with my back light. Checked bulb, fuse, bulb holder, changed multifunction switch. Any suggestions plz....... :(
Thinking about it i'll tell you the whole story it might make sense. I went down to gatwick airport on tuesday, in the pouring rain. And on the way back the sunroof stopped working, my back light ( just the drivers side ) stopped working the computer switch wouldn't work my air con kept comming on even after i switched it off, the button which circulates the air inside the car didn't work and my abs and traction control lights were on.......... sounds like water in the fuse box.. :(

Could be the cable that runs via the hinge on the boot lid. Those have been prone to getting chaffed on a number of cars.

The rest doesn't sound like boot lid wiring though!! ;)

Sunroof working now, Took the fuse out and it looked a bit grubby, cleaned the contacts with emery cloth put it back and the sunroof worked. Don't know if it was coincidence.
Also could someone point me in the direction of a wiring diagram for the rear lights. Found the ones for the headlights but doesn't mention about the rears......... Cheers
