The systems are sensitive to bulb type, ie prefer VX genuine rather than Lucas or similar as that then shows as a 'check tailight' failure on the computer display.

May be worth trying a gen VX blub in there before condeming the system completely....

Is this checked with a multimeter ?? or just no power to light a bulb ??

If its with a multimeter you have a broken/disconnected wire somewhere .. and its time to start tracing the wire back, testing (with a meter) at every join. You can get tester probes with very sharp "needle tips" that can be used to prod through insulation to check for voltage in order to trace a break in the cable.

ill wack my muti meter on it and check the volts and let you all other blubs are fine. i checked them all cause i know you can get led ones which throws the comp of  :)

it was tested with a snap on electrial tester which either shows as power or earth but it had neither.
