VW Polo 2006 - Passenger side rear and brake lights not working - AlexVW
Hi all

My passenger side brake and rear light have suddenly stopped working. Obviously changing the bulbs hasn’t worked and the fuse for those lights is for both sides so have ruled that out.

Any ideas on what could be wrong? Not sure if this is relevant but the cabin light no longer switches on when the passenger side front door opens either, but that has been the case for a while before the issue with the rear lights.

Thanks

Check the contacts at the base of the bulb and also those in the multi pin connector in the back of the lamp holder. You may find corrosion and/or overheating.

Check the brake switch under the pedal. These fail quite often.
