Hi All
One of my colleagues has a 2013 Focus Estate with lighting issues.
He had been told of a failed break light and was replacing this bulb today.
But although he now has 2 operating break lights, his tail (side) lights
are not working.
It is not clear whether he caused the problem when swapping the bulb. I
suppose they could have stopped working and he would not necessarily be
aware given the light nights.
We inspected the wiring local to the bulb housing and all seemed in
order (i. e. no disconnects).
Looking at fuse board "key" diagrams from various sources, I could not
see a fuse that looked in any way associated with the rear tail lights.
My review included fuse boards in: the engine bay, the cabin, the
luggage area.
Does anyone know if there is a fuse specifically protecting the tail
light bulbs and if so where this is? The front side and headlights
appear to be functioning correctly.
Many thanks
Phil
