Rear / Tail light issue

D5TMW · 12-27-2014, 11:32 AM

Im having a issue on my PRE LCI E92...

Basically the rear light seems to turn on then go off again after about 2 seconds.

To put it simply, when the car is unlocked the rear lights usually go on. For some strange reason on the drivers side of the car the rear light will turn on, then immediately flick off again.

Originally the problem was with the main unit on the rear 3/4. However I had a look at the bulb holder and it was a bit loose. So Pushed that back into place and the problem seems to have switched to the light on the boot lid.

I haven't had any time to get it on the computer yet but I do have access to one.

Any ideas to what the issue could be?

Thanks in advanced!

Lci upgrade. The mechanics of the pre lci lights are poor. Mine broke all together so just best to upgrade

I suppose if i didn't have a reason before... seriously frustrating! I'll have a lay around with it tomorrow and report back if its anything obvious to save people this hassle!
