Hi all,
One of my tails lights seems to be faulty. Does anyone have any idea what the possible cause might be and how to fix 40983E9E-A8A8-4C20-83D5-6B9A0661D7FD.jpeg ? i.e. fuse, lamp, cable etc?

Thanks I’m advance for any suggestions.

This might help - looks like the problem could be a soldered dry joint

fuse - look in the fuse box for blown fuses.
Lamp - doubt it as the entire cluster is out which points to voltage.
So get a voltmeter on the connection and see of there is voltage going into the cluster. if Y, then a cluster fault.
Lamps are easy to test for continuity.

Simple process of elimination.

Thanks, I was really just wondering if there was a common fault before starting the in ravelling process.
