Technical Number plate lights

[Blueyo1]

Hey all, newbie here!

Bought a 1.2 lounge 2008 which has been sat a year!

Done most of the jobs bar number plate lights which I can get working.

I’ve had a poke about a see it’s a common issue, I’ve seen people jury rig a wire between the two bulb holders but sadly I’ve not power to them.

Obviously I’m too tight to buy an entire new sealed unit.

If I disconnect the white chock that feeds the entire unit, I can get a reading off the white middle wire if I ground on the boot lid.

Also, whenever you turn the ignition the rear wipe does a single wipe, related?

Boot lid lock etc all work fine,

Anyone got any clues?

Thanks Bluey

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Quite possibly.

Disconnect the battery, then check the hatch wiring.

You might find something that looks like this:

Hello, its, certainly I'd say, the rear hatch wiring problem, very well documented,

Well I suppose it had to happen sometime. Went to visit some friends for a couple of hours, got back in the car, and turned the key to find the dash lit up like a disco. :mad: Initial assessment is that I've got the orange warning triangle, flashing mileage, airbag & seatbelt 'do not drive'...
