Advice..... Rear fog lamp...

Right just a bit of advice really, my 90 has just failed its mot on a few minor faults which I've fixed....bar two the bloody rear fog lamp and it's warning light on the instrument panel, I've changed the bulb, checked the fuse, checked the stick switch. My questions are, are there anymore fuses a need to check and what else can I do......

Hmmm. Not sure why your rear lamp would not be working. Have you checked with a circuit tester that you have power? Could just be a dodgy light unit/connection to the bulb.

As for the panel light, I had similar MOT failure. Turned out to be a poor connection in the plastic circuit board thingummy behind the panel. Fixed by a wee bit of wire to provide power to the bulb.

Have you checked the earth for the fog light?

That's my next step earthing the lamp unit, hopefully this will solve the warning light as well...

Possibly, depends how they've wired it...

Worth a start though

Could just be the bulb has gone on the dash warning light?!

Thanks for your advice, however I've check all bulbs, replaced the lamp unit, checked the fuse, checked the switch, as far as I can tell there's no power coming from the feed...

Going to bite the bullet and take it to the garage...

(almost) guarantee it will be the earth from (or is it 'to') the fog light..... Nightmare area on the rear there. Istr its behind the fill panel inside under the rear quarter light, or is it the one up under the rear wheel arch with the high tec flap of plastic to 'protect it'....!!??

Must get up the energy to fix the high level brake light on my back door - same problem I am sure. Good luck, A

Wire it up on a new circuit, will take 10 mins
