Rear light cluster help please

Post by 2011dandd »

Hi
The new dilemma....
On the rear i seem to have no power going to the number plate lights or any of the lights on both left and right apart from the indicators. I’ve replaced all the bulbs but still the only lights working on the rear are the indicators. Obviously a problem that I need to sort before I take it for an mot.

Is this a case of a fuse that need replacing or is it a common fault. It’s a 1980 air cooled bus. Hope someone can offer some advice. Cheers

First, check the earth point for the rear lights on the rear panel.
