WireyWhenWet Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Does anyone happen to know if the sidelights are fused to individual sides as they are with the dipped and main beam lights? Did a passenger sidelight bulb replacement the other day but didn't realise the other half had left the ignition on, as I replaced the bulb it flickered, but didn't pop. I've now lost both front and rear left side sidelights, the tail bulb is intact as well being dual element, but no power to the sidelight at all. The manual doesn't claim that they are fused to one side or the other, but I can't actually find a relevant fuse to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F22 has been swapped but is in working order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireyWhenWet Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Still at a loss with this one, does anyone happen to have the wiring diagrams for the sidelight circuits they could share at all? Anything like that would be very much appreciated! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WireyWhenWet Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Okay for reference as this seems to be a quite rare issue, but one which has been asked a few times on the 'net, Following a couple of weeks of normal driving, both front and rear left (pass) sidelights have come back to life; the only thing I can think is that the bcm or something has restored its values from lights being off for an extended period (The missus doesn't do much driving that needs lights on), or a module has reset, be that from low voltage or just somehow it refreshing its memory. I haven't changed any fuses for new, and haven't reset anything manually so would assume the issue of one side being out (despite having working bulbs and good contacts) is software controlled, so for anyone looking to resolve this it might be worth checking Forscan and refreshing modules to see if that helps. Perhaps this helps someone in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
