Dodgey right rear parker

[ausgolfer]

My right rear parker hasn't worked for a good 6 months now, it's a miracle I haven't been pulled over for it.

It's not the globe as I can swap the globe from the left hand side and the problem stays.

I've checked the connections and they seem to be good at the base of the bulb tray.

Any ideas guys? Could it be something as simple as a fuse? which I haven't checked by the way.

Suspecting a localised problem, just wondering, is the thing earthing properly? One would think that none of the park lights would work if the fuse was blown. Does it run an earth wire to another part of the body or does the park light assembly earth via mounting screws?

yeah but you never know those crazy germans

Assuming the earth is OK (test with a mulitmeter) go to Supercheap or similar and buy yourself a test light with a needle probe (just a few $$s). Earth it with the clip and then trace the coloured wire from the +ve globe contact back toward the fusebox by probing the insulation with the needle. You'll find it

Thanks will give it a go.
