Hello. having problems with my back light. Checked bulb, fuse, bulb holder, changed multifunction switch. Any suggestions plz....... Sad

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.. Sad

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!! Wink

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
