Mk4 gti tail light issue

[bossbmx]

Rear right tail light went out on my '01 gti. Replaced bulb and still nothing. Checked all other rear lights(brake, turn signals...) and those work but can't get the tail light to work. I checked my fuses as well. The prong in the light socket looked like a good connection. Anyone else have this issue? Is it not grounded?

Do the other two parking lights on the right side work?

Do the other two parking lights on the right side work?

Yes. The brake light, turn light, reverse light all work fine. Just the tail light is not working.

[dennisgli]

Do the other two parking lights on the right side work?

[bossbmx]

Yeah. All rear lights on both side are working except for the right tail light.

[dennisgli]

I'd start by either checking to see if you are getting power to the connector going to the bulb tray - or by just swapping the bulb tray with the other side.

Has anyone found a resolution to this?

For real, I have an MK4 2.0 Golf and i have the same problem. It's annoying I tried everything, new bulb, new socket plate, new fuses (the old ones were blown) but apparently it's a short cause when we put the new fuses in they kept blowing so there is a short somewhere...just gotta figure out where it is

[dennisgli]

Which fuses keep blowing?

22 & 23

the 5W for the right passenger side tails.

My '03 wagon, 1.8T, is having a brake light problem. All light bulbs are working in the tail light, daytime tail light on, turn signal on, reverse light on. Even though the day time tail light is on, it won't go brighter for the brake light to be on.

Please assist,

same problem my 02 gti is doing the same thing anyone find the solution

[dennisgli]

same problem my 02 gtin

Which "same problem: - that the right rear tail light doesn't work but the other five parking lights do?

Or that both parking light fuses keep blowing?

[Bpich3r]

my rear left tail light is out but the right isnt n i kept changing bulbs i think i need to buy a new taillight unit?????

[dennisgli]

Do the other two parking lights on that side work?

I assume that this is on a MkIV Golf.

[Bpich3r]

no my reverse light is out n brake light now

[dennisgli]

no my reverse light is out n brake light now

Are you saying "No, the other two parking lights on the driver's side of my MkIV Golf also do now work. And now that I've tried to fix the problem the brake and backup light on the driver's side no longer work - but the other two brake lights and the backup light on the passenger's side still work. Also - all six of my turn signals still work."

found the problem fuse 22 was blown so a 5$ fuse did the trick but still no brake light

[nirav]

Has anyone found a resolution to this? I've changed my fuses and bulb and still same problem. Not brake light but the tail light bulb in reference to what I'm talking about.

I'm have the same problem. 03 jetta driver side tail light is out every other light works on the rear checked the fuse they aren't blown. I don't get it I'm gonna go to the junkyard and get another assembly for the the driver side rear and see if that helps

[dennisgli]

Do the other two parking lights on the left side work?
