Side marker lights

[Justin and Jane]

Hi all

Can anyone shine any light on my problem?

I got 4 marker lights on my fiat autoquest and only 3 of them work!
The back right one has no live feed to the wire!! but i dont know how to get to or trace where the wire goes to
is there a way to get the dam thing working again ? i dont understand why there is no power to the wire!
HELP

It would seem they are wired in parallel rather than series (otherwise none of them would work). Therefore it is highly likely that there is a break (or bad connection) in the wire from the next lamp. It could be as simple as a poor connection in the preceding lamp in the circuit, or a bad earth in the one that doesn't work.

As they onced worked, but now don't, one of the two suggestions is the most likely cause.

Chances are that the wire is linked to one of the other marker lights, you many have to remove each of the other lights untill you find the one that has a wire off or badly corroded.
If all else fails run new wire from back right rear light cluster.

Side Marker Lights

Have you looked at the other lights there could be 2 wires at the front marker light, look at the lights on the side where they both work if 2 wires at say the front light disconnect 1 and see if it turns the back one off.
Otherwise they may have been connected to the nearest sidelight, if in doubt call at a good auto-electrician
