Left Tail Side Lights not Working After Towball Install

Featured Replies

Hi Guys

A while ago I installed a tow bar and multiplex relay on my 2007 Octavia, I had some issues with the first multiplex relay and while testing it I must’ve spiked something in the control module for the two small side lights in the left rear light assembly and now they don’t go and it brings up a warning on the dash.  All the other lights in the main cluster work, just not the small side lights.  Iv disconnected the multiplex relay to see if that makes a difference- it doesn’t.  Iv tried replacing bulbs etc.  iv checked it with a multimeter and can confirm there’s no current to the sockets.  Iv got the boot plastics off and it appears all the right hand lights seem to be fed from a module in the boot, but the wires for these two little side lights seem to disappear into the loom that goes to the front of the car.  Does any one know which module it is that feeds them?  Iv had plastics out of the front of the car, and found the wire by the left front footwell but it’s very hard to see where it goes next.  Iv had the radio and climate control out trying to find it but no luck yet.  

If any one knows where these two frustrating lights are fed from I’d be very grateful!!  Hope you guys in the uk are enjoying the good weather.

thanks in advance from the bottom of the globe.  And I have had a good dog around with the search function but couldn’t find what I was after.

regards

Ben
