Psshhhht Member 165 Member For: 8y 7m 21d Posted 23/03/19 09:53 AM Share Posted 23/03/19 09:53 AM Hi All, After removing my front and rear bars and the tail lights, I reinstalled them in a bit of a rush and found everything except brake lights work. If I turn the lights on, the driver's side parker turns on but not passenger side. I replaced the fuse with a spare one, didn't do anything. tomorrow morning I'm going to buy replacement bulbs, fuses and even relays if I can get them at SCA. I was wondering if I'm likely to be dreaming in hoping that it's just the bulbs somehow both got stuffed, or is it likely to be something else? I have heard about brake switch problems, but it just seems to be weird to me that it would fail all of a sudden. I thought fuse, hence why I changed it to see, but it still seems weird that if it was the fuse that one parker would work but not the rest, surely if it was the fuse, all the tail assembly would fail? Any other suggestions? I will see how I go tomorrow, and if no luck book it in with the electrician asap but if it's something minor that I'm not thinking of I'm open to suggestions Cheers, Jer Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94678-whats-the-likely-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some spare B-series rear lights if you want to try them (or even the globes) to eliminate that.You can have them if they work, but would seem odd that you cooked both sides at once.

Expand don't have one After replacing bulbs both parkers are working but still no brake lights, so I'm assuming most likely brake switch. Gonna book it in with auto elec asap and just get it sorted, gonna get them to look at my seat at the same time because since changing to the leathers the airbag light has been stuck on, I've checked the connections several times, and replaced fuse, I'm guessing it's the power box thing under the seat has a bad connection internally.

Its a simple circuit. A multimeter is a must have tool. $10 https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/best-buy-best-buy-multimeter---digital-12v-automotive/4405.html#q=multimeter&srule=Price+Ascending&segment=1&page=1 Edited 24/03/19 01:34 AM by arronm 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94678-whats-the-likely-problem/#findComment-1679722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
