theres a fuse box in the drivers side kick panel and one under the bonnet, the fuse locations a listed on the covers of said fuse boxes... try looking, its not hard

i know its there. but i dont know which one lol. i think its the same fuse as the light in the ash tray. cause thats not on either

have you checked the globe? sometimes one filament is blown but the other filament still works, say for example your parkers are blown, but stop still works

[ndeuro_]

but if its blown then my brake lights should be out too

[Ken-f]

read the diagram in the manual, or on the back of the fuse box cover.

ima go do it now. i think i got spare fuses.

yeah ok i tried looking for the blown fuse but i cant find anything. help?

[euro_tr4sh]

dude, were on the internet.... go out to your bloody car look at all the fuses, check all of them, open your boot and take out the globes and have a look at them, we cant do this shit for you, its only gonna be a blown fuse or blown bulb, its not rocket science

i looked before. i just want to know. does our tail lights have fuses. if so where are they, if they dont then its not the fuses.

[burner42]

yes they do have fuses, try inside the engine bay for fuses, However as i said earlier, could be a faulty globe, if you have a Tail/Stop Light, it has 2 filaments, one could blow, and the other could still work, as there are 3 cables connected to the globe housing. The stop light is trigger, goes on when you apply pressure to the brakes, as the circuit is short, power is delivered to the stop filament, hence powering it. As for the tail light, when the parkers are on, there is constant power, so if the filament is blown, your stop may still work. It's a 2 second job mate, swap your globe with another. If that doesn't work, then look at the accessories/parkers fuse, may be located under the hood in some cars.

I can be wrong, but you got nothing to loose

It should be under the bonnet - fuse number 4, 15A. Covers Parking lights, Taillights, License plate lights, A/T gear position console light, Ashtray light, Audio-AVAC-display module, Cigarette lighter light, Glove box light, Hazard warning switch light, Headlight adjuster switch light, Rear individual map lights, Sunroof switch light, TCS off switch light

Huh. Guess it was the fuse... :P

I can honestly say in 20 years of driving, I have had loads of tail light bulbs go, but never had a fuse blow.
