Boot light fuse?

[lgsnoddy]

Hi

I was putting bright lights in everything earlier, all went well until the boot light. It came on and went straight off, I'm assuming blowing a fuse. Anybody know which fuse this would be? Or any other ideas?

Happens every time you change the boot bulb. Its a right pain

Its a 15a blue miniature fuse. Theres only 2 i think but check them both. I think its the one further towards the right hand side.

Careful if you drive anywhere. The same fuse does the back lights.

Yeah just noticed it seems to do the interior lights and number plate ones. Right pain! I shall pick up a few tomorrow, I was racing to get back from cinema before it was dark lol

[fabiamk2SE]

Yeah haha

I had that problem.

I went out to find a fuse after dark and was getting flashed hy everybody. ( didnt realise it did the back lights at the time). I couldnt find a place that sold the small fuses, so i swapped the 2 15a ones over. My lights did work, but my window wipers didnt, and it was raining rather alot haha

No win situation.

Yeah I swapped them over to test the fuse. When you say back lights which do you mean?

[fabiamk2SE]

Back Side lights didnt work on mine

Not sure about the brake lights

[lgsnoddy]

I tested the brake lights, they did, not sure about the sidelights

I have finally changed the fuse after a strange encounter with the skoda dealer, however the bulb warning light is still on, any ideas?

[fabiamk2SE]

Checked all your other bulbs?

Maybe it takes a few starts for it to recognise? Although mine went straight away

Maybe it's not a Canbus error free bulb, it'll still work but throw up a dashboard warning.

Have you changed your number plate bulbs? I changed mine and for a while they were fine, then all of a sudden the warning light came on even though they both still worked. Swapped them for new CANBUS error free and had no bother since.

Yeah I figured this out the other day, was just a coincidence that they went at the same time. The seller is sending me some new ones foc

Seems the number plate holders are temperamental!

I think theyre ****e tbh. Wasnt impressed when i changed mine, at all.

[lgsnoddy]

Yeah definitely, it's annoying me ATM because it looked so good with LEDs but now it's just like blurgggghh

[jonro2009]

I put led back in mine, not sure where I got them now but they were pennies and they have been fine.

One thing I found is that if I turned the engine on and the lights in quick succession the light came on, if I let the car settle to an idle, when the needle went below 1000 rpm the light didn't come on.

Sounds like they are temperamental pieces of work, I'll wait til I get my new bulbs and take it from there
