Sidelight Problems

[aliencast]

Hi, I've got a problem with my Focus, its a 2007 model. My sidelight on the drivers side has stopped working. So I changed the bulb and it still didn't work, next I checked the fuses and those were fine. now I'm puzzled as to why its not working. any help is appreciated.

I will try this at the weekend and what should i do if that still doesn't work?

if there is no power at the socket, perhaps the simplest solution is to splice a wire into the other side light and run a wire across. The wattage is low so the extra load should not cause any problems. Of course a lot of people will say it is a bodge but how long are you prepared to spend trying to find the real problem.
