Skoda Roomster Dec 2013 - right side number/license plate light blown, replaced no change

Featured Replies

Hi all
I have right side number/license plate light blown (it is blown), replaced no change.

I see that the left bulb (works) - following info I found, states Fuse 17 (5A) is for left parking light + left number plate light.

Does the right one has a fuse? Cannot find manual just now, but I do have it.

Thank you
M

Will have a look another day properly and with a meter - maybe on Saturday, I believe I can drive with one right?

I had some time today - 30 minutes - and I measured wires = no voltage.

I also checked all 5A fuses and a few 7.5 and a couple 0f 10A near right side fuse box.

I could see a 10A was replaced as was different.

No change and no idea what to do more, if I had an idea of the wiring circuitry - that 'may' help.

I also did a quick check of all lights and whichever dashboard light there is - as far as I know, all seems to work.
mmm

Look for a broken wire in the tailgate wire groomet, according to the wiring scheme, the license light should have 2 different wire for the power, one for each light.

(i've looked at the one of the fabia, later i will look on elsawin for the roomster), but i belive is something similar,

Yes, I got that it has a separate wiring... thanks for confirming it.

Look for the thin grey/red wire in the tailgate bellows, you will almost certainly find that it has parted.

Yep, did open that cabling boot - although officially called grommet (wrong word) and I obviously found what expected.

Right side License Plate light wires both snapper and several others - including two large ones (I suppose for the electrical lock).
Insulated them all first, then added a 5-6cm long extension and re-soldered the light wires - all works fine now.

Plastic cable sleeves are quite hard - obviously will snap and get pulled and bunch of cables are quite tight from FACTORY !

Thanks everybody for inputs - appreciated!
