Blowing Rear Bulbs

[MercAl]

All I seem to be doing just now, is replacing rear stop/tail bulbs. Took it to my local indie, who told me the car needed a wiring loom modification. Got it done, picked the car up, and guess what happened on the way home? Another stop/tail light blown! Anyone any ideas please?

Check the socket contacts are nice and clean, and that any connectors are similarly clean with a firm fit.

There is a mod for your car to stop this.

Assuming you paid them, I would take it back and get them to sort it.

It was £14.00 for the wiring loom modification. I've checked the contacts and theyr'e fine. Back to the indie on Saturday morning!
Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking the fault might be in the light clusters.

The mod consist of two wiring loom adaptors with a built in resistors of 1 Ω

Problem solved! One of the modifications was faulty.
