Be aware that one should only change springs for matched pairs because of their gradual deformation with age.

Thank you for the advice on this subject. 👍

Welcome Jake, Yes, probably worth checking that the fuse is still in tact, so you can eliminate that as a source of your issue. If it’s blown, it’s blown for a reason ( to protect the circuit), and you must find the problem area before just replacing the fuse. Regards, Gareth. Look in your handbook for fuse locations.

Thank you 😊 hope you had a lovely Christmas

Apologies for the gripe, but the forum has recently suffered from a spate of what can be termed ‘Post and Run’ new members, who seem to think it’s perfectly acceptable to post a plea for help, and simply not return to view the help given. In a more diluted form, help is offered, but is very rarely acknowledged even via. a simple press of the Like button, leave alone a posted Thank You. The last part of the gripe is that we frequently have to ask for additional information, and this extra detail often never materialises. Please remember, everyone who posts replies do so without payment, but it certainly does cost them in time - in terms of the Moderators and Admin back up - a lot of time. So a special plea to all on here who post needing help:- please be respectful enough to acknowledge any help given, rather than simply accept it as a no-cost, no time of yours, free advice service. It’s wearing thin folks, so if you want to retain this service, please respect and acknowledge its benefits. Thank you all for reading this, and above all, agreeing to adhere to the respect that is needed to be shown. Kind regards, On behalf of the Moderators. Please note:- This request is to all members, not just new ones. p.s. Please avoid using non specific locations such as U.K., England etc. etc.

So, i have fixed it, problem was a broken wire after all, one of the wires inside the black rubber gaitor/sleeve that goes between the body to the boot lid. It had been repaired in the past and was the thicker brown wire. I didn’t see this on first inspection as the repair was good being done with solder so I thought the chances of it having broken again were slim - a wrong assumption on my part. Having gently pulled at the wire, I was delighted when it came out one end broken as I knew then that it was mystery solved and an easy fix. All lights working together with boot lid release button which is working from key fob too. Thanks for the input and happy motoring.
