replikit Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 hiya all, my taillights have stopped working. before the rear amber warning lights (on left hand side dash) flashed once in a while. Then yesterday the lights have stopped working. also before when i brake, the lights come on the dash. now only the brake lights work.. have replaced fuses, bulbs ....nothing. its a jap spec aerotop 3.0 na, all four lights are the twin brake and tailight style. i also realised there is no fog light on the car when i was doing this which makes me wonder how the h*ll it passed the MOT any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Sounds like a dodgy earth to me. Unfortunately I've no idea where it may be, unless others can advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
