My right rear tail light isn't working. Today I replaced the bulb and no joy so I'm thinking it is probably a blown fuse. However it is just on the right side and the indicator on that side is working.

Which fuse on a ph.1 is for this light? Is it in the fuse box under the dash on the driver's side?


Secondly, does anyone know which relay controls the dim dip function on the ph.1? (dipped beams stay on slightly and assist sidelights) I'd like to remove it and just have the sidelight bulbs illuminated.


Thank you.

i had a terrible earth on mine on my p1, just put a new one to the chassis next to the plug and it was fine

Could be both

Right, had a look and I can't figure out what the problem is. I've cleaned the plugs and swapped bulbs over and cleaned the terminals that connect to the bulbs and none of them were particularly corroded.

If you unplug either connector from the driver's side light the left side goes out as well. The wiring for the left side goes through the right hand side light it seems as there are wires coming into the right hand side and then another set of wires from the RHS light directly to the LHS light.

I doubt it is a fuse as it is just for one side, but is there a fuse associated with just tail lights?

I haven't removed the c-pillar trim to check the earth yet. If I did want to make another earth, would I just splice into the green wires on both plugs and earth them each?

Possibly the bulb holder is just faulty? It is mostly metal and I wonder whether there is a mechanic break in it somewhere that I cannot see or perhaps corrosion somewhere I can't identify.

Really not sure what's going on as it's just stopped working all of a sudden. A bit worried about getting in trouble for it.

Yeah I know. I replaced them with a nearly new set that had been dry stored for years and greased up all the seals etc. to stop the water getting into the boot as it was previously.

I've now ordered another bulb holder for the offending light to see if that changes things as there's not really much else it could be.

Yes, as I thought. Fuse 4 blown. This does control sidelights and right rear tail light.
