Side light bulb mystery

Featured Replies

So I noticed tge offside (drivers side) front side light bulb wasn't working. Bought new bulbs (5w). Replace it and nothing. I then tried the new bulbs in the near side. Perfect. I then then confirmed i had a fault.

Ive checked the fuses under the steering column. Nothing blown.

I get 12v on the near side ans zero on the near side. I then split the cable and ran a temporary earth from the battery to the bulb to see if I had a earth fault. Still zero volts.

Seems odd no power to that one bulb. I cant see how it can be the dashboard switch.

Its a mystery to me at the moment.

Any have any ideas?

Year 2014 mk2 1.2 tsi auto.

Appreciated

Could be a BCM problem. Did read that if theres a short when bulb blows the BCM can cut power and create fault code that needs clearing using VCDS or similar even after replacing bulb. Not sure if the above is correct but worth scanning for codes.
