Ford Mondeo - Ford Mondeo 53-Rear Light Problem - ljinno

Hi,

Changed the rear brake light whilst lights were on, now when i turn the lights on they dont light up on drivers side, the bulb only lights up when I press the brake. both filaments are okay, bulb works fine on passenger side so dont think its the fuse.

Any ideas?

I would check the fuses .The light system is fused left and right,so the left can be ok but the right can be out.Also check to see if right front in headlight works.hth

Also, as that sounds like a combined stop/tail bulb, it's worth checking that you have it in the right way around(!)

It's possible to fit 'em 180 degrees out and that can produce the "only one bit works" effect.
