B2545-04 Rear Left Reverse Light Circuit Open (Problem)

[palaxdine]

Hello guys, I seem to have a problem like this.
IMG_1069.jpg
- There is no problem in the operation of the reverse lights.
- Does not light up when not in reverse gear.
- Lights up when in reverse gear.
- The lamps still have life.

As soon as I clear the fault, it automatically malfunctions again.

It gives the fault only as the left side lamp.

Does anyone have a suggestion for solving this problem?

Hello, go and introduce yourself in the introduction topic and don't forget to put up a picture of the car..

To answer your question:
Clean the connector, check the bulb holder for corrosion clean as needed. Pay particular attention to the earth wire in the connector. Test it and if it comes back replace the bulb, it probably is on it's way out, if it still comes up with the lightbulb error after you've cleaned the lot.

99% the bulb is on it's last leg, they still light up but the car "reads" a lower value than it should be. Usually when the bulbs give out a error and are still working they will be on the last stretch. Sometimes even after it's stopped working if you slap the taillight/headlight the bulbs might come up alive for a bit aswell(except xenons).
Cheapest thing to do is this:
1. introduce yourself and present your car, we all want to see how many vectras/signums are alive and well
2. replace the bulb(1 quid or 2 quids not even that expensive) and clean the connections while at there if it presents corrosion

My lamp works without any problems, but it gives a warning that there is an error in the lamp.
I cleaned the connector just in case.
I bought a new bulb.
I measured the voltages to the lamps. It shows around 12.85 volts when 0.25 volts is active when not active.
To verify, I measured the right side, but the values are the same.
The left side continues to error as in this photo, but my lamps are working.
Where else could there be a mistake?

did you clean the complete metal bulb holder? not just the one that holds the one bulb but the complete thing? If you haven't than start with that... pay attention to where it goes to the connector on the other side... as 9 out of 10 times it'll show signs of plastic melting around one of the pins.. if it is like that your best solution is to replace the bulb holder completely(pull it out of a scrapped car) or just replace the complete rear light cluster that causes the problem.

Can't think of anything else unless that will cause this.
