- This Renault Master had been into the garage with a intermittent light fault, after a hefty bill the fault returned, here’s how I fixed the problem. Basic stuff
Stop/Tail Light bulb on Amazon, amzn.to/2RRn4C4 - Авто та транспорт
Keep it simple. Can't believe this is what was going on with my Audi. Most helpful video thank you.
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, I was having intermittent problem, brake light bulb fault warning, the bulb looked perfect no kinks or discoloration. It had failed right on the joint and looked ok.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I was running to the same thing and you save me a bunch of time now I’m gonna go ahead and try that and get some new bulbs because I was running through the same problem
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks for great explanation. Fixed exactly the same problem with my rear light. I would have assumed that a light would work or not, but your explanation on how it can arc, making it work and not work was very clever.
Glad it helped, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
BIG THANK YOU. You have made things very simple, explained things very well. I have learnt a lot by watching your video. Thank you.

I have an 06 Silverado. & What I'm noticing, is the daytime sensor causes my brakes & blinker lights to dim & not work correctly at night time. Would there be a way to bypass sensor?
you could try disconnecting it, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Great video. Very clear. I wonder if you could help me. My two rear brake lights are working but the middle one on the rear window ins't. I have changed the bulbs and also the brake light switch and the middle brake light still does not come on. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.
Possible broken wire in the door wiring loom where it bends, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
If I need to swap my rear fog light from right hand side to left side...how to I know which wires to change etc...it’s for importing into NL.
remove the light unit and use a test light to find the fog light wire then extend it to the other side, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I have a problem with transit custom, break lights won't come on I changed the bulbs and the break light switch and check d fuses any tips
Possible poor earth near the rear lights, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, I have a renault trafic van, it keeps blowing the near side brake light bulb, it even melted the light unit, cleaned all the terminals and bulb connections but it still keeps popping bulbs🤕
check the alternator output is it higher Tham 14v? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, I just fitted in new brake light bulbs on passenger side rear and as soon as I plugged back in the connector all the power cut to my vehicle. Could this be a fuse issue due to incorrect bulb wattages????
Is the bulb in back to front causing a short circuit? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
on the driver side of my head light is out also when i turn on the bright lights on my passenger dont work but regular driving lights do. what could be the problem
Blown bulbs, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I wonder what they charged him and for what .? Can I have your thoughts on this possibly just a bulb as I have a Skoda Octavia 1600 just failed the mot there was a comment written on the eventual pass certificate and I quote position lamp with a multiple light source up to 1/2 not functioning offside rear ?double Dutch to me can you advise anything please
You will have more than one bulb in that cluster, one of them will be blown, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Bulb, fuse, Poor connection, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hello mate, really helpful video- Thanks.Just wondering, I’ve got a Honda Jazz 08 and the rear near side light , brake and reverse light aren’t coming on.Could one fawlty bulb blow the other two.Would it be the case to replace all 3 bulbs or could it be something more sinister?Appreciate any help-Thanks again.

Check the earth wire to the rear light, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Thanks much appreciated-will do👍
aaanton11 Hi, I have a '94 Nissan Altima. I replaced the Brake lamp switch , put in new tail light bulb which stopped my brake lights from staying on. So I thought it was fixed and I didnt have to unhook my positive battery terminal everytime I got out now. Battery was dead next morning. Installed new battery, brake lights back on again lol. I kept smelling wires burning and it was coming from my left tail lights. The ground wire had burnt and melted my tail light housing around where the ground connector screws down to the housing frame. Any ideal what's causing this or can you send me a video how to fix it. My brake light and battery light are staying on and I guess this is why.
You must have a short circuit, did you use the correct bulb, there are many different ones that might go in the wrong hole, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 I already know their is a short circuit somewhere and yes I used the correct bulb I k ow which one it uses!
Thanks for your input but I'll look elsewhere on fixing the issue like maybe replacing the switches above the brake pedal.
hi thanks for sharing.the lights and registration lights are not working. brake lights and fog lights work.ive checked fuse and bulbs but no joy .any ideas. thanks
Is this on both sides? Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 yes both sides .thanks
Sorry maybe I am missing something here, but the first thing anyone does when a light bulb isn't working is replace it? If you have a light going in your house, you don't call an electrician to rewire the house
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
can i find a bulb holder for renault duster?
Dealer part, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
could u help me, i have an issue with my back right brake light, put my foot on the brake and the both brake lights come on but a few seconds later the right one turns off while the othe is still on, i then turn off my headlights and turn them back on only to find the brake light will work again for a few seconds and then repeat, any help would be great thanks
Check the earth wires, and the connector plugs to the light units one might be melted, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 turns out the cove was loose, tightened it up and all working fine now, u are a genius my friend, much applause from Oz
Hi I changed a side light bulb on front of transit connect and now back one has gone off on same side so both not working now any idea. Thanks
Did you put a led bulb in they don't work on some cars, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 yes I put led in but now I have no power on left side lol
is there a side light fuse on pergeot partner
Yes, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My light bulb sockets show signs of corrosion/rust, how would you suggest I fix this?
Give it a wipe with scotch brite Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 While we’re in the same rabbit hole, I’ve got a similar issue on my Mini Cooper. The top light of the tail light cluster is not working. It’s not corroded and I’m using a new bulb. I even got a new socket. Still nothing. As I’m turning the socket I see a little blue spark. I think there’s something up with the circuit board.
Hi Anton, need help here, what could be the problem, if i step on my break pedal the headlights/AC indicator lit up? this happened after i installed LED bulb on my break light but i put it back to my stock hallogen bulb
Remove the led bulbs they are not so good in some cars, I had similar issues, they back feed causing issues, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
My Kia Sportage 2013 brake lights is making my craze , i changed the brake lights switch and fuse but
I start my car brake lights working, next day it is not working, next day it is working
Any idea?
Check the earth point on the rear lights, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
*get under your steering column and make sure your loom connections are all plugged in* people often play footsie with their cars... And most mechanics forget the most basic part of the job too.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
DEAR SIR, MAY POP YOU A QUESTION, I HAVE A FORD SMAX 2009, NEAR SIDE BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING, CHANGED THE BULB, STILL NOT WORKING, CLEANED THE CONTACTS, STILL NOT WORKING!! CAN YOU PLEASE ADVISE ME? MANY THANKS,
possible poor earth in the light cluster, you will need a volt meter to test connection Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Hi, could I ask, "How do you check the earth?" I have a multi-meter. I think that my old 2003 Ford Focus hatchback 'may' have this as a problem. as the off-side tail-light has stopped working. Changed the bulb & checked all the contacts, still doesn't work. My lovely old car has now just failed it's MOT test, so this is really important to me. Trouble is that I can't afford to spend a fortune at a garage for them to find & rectify the fault. Have you any ideas please?
Hmm interesting. I have issue on my Vauxhall Omega that taillight brake slight not working and error on dash . Found bad boulb swapped boulb but error still on dash … definitely will go and have a look and try to find that one bad lights …
Good luck Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠

Hey my back lights won’t work when I turn my lights on only the headlights and blinkers, then when I turn the lights off my brake lights work and signals.. do you know what the issue could be? I replaced the bulbs and fuses so that’s not the issue.. anybody can help me out?!?! Please
sounds like a bad earth, check with a volt drop test, Like in this video but on the rear light earth. ua-cam.com/video/jEi-OJQD4K8/v-deo.html
