I had this problem over a year, I tried everithing, changing bulbs, cleaning contacts, no one was knowing how to solve the problem. Mine problem was that everything was working but warning was beeping when hit brake or turn right blinker on. I measured voltage at left and right rear bulbs and noticed that when votage drops below 12v it beeps (on left bulbs there was no voltage dropping and no beep after left blinker was on, but on right, that was broken, there was voltage drop after any light is on, more light more voltage drop). This problem was due to bad connection to ground (407SW is car). After soldering grounds, problem disapeared! Thanks for this video, Greetings from Serbia!

Thanks so much! Just did this last weekend and fixed rear lamps with this issue! Cheap repair, practical and wasn't too hard for a non-mechanic such as myself. You saved me a fortune.

Thank you so much for this video! We just did it and fixed the lights on our car. Your instructions are perfect, super clear and easy to follow. I think you’ve saved us quite a bit of money!

I was losing my mind trying to find out the issue with my tail lights. Thank you very much

Had this exact issue and had no idea it was a common problem, but found your video when googling it - if not I would have been checking fuses and such all night. Added a new ground wire and all the light work now, didn't take more than 20 minutes or so. Thanks!

Bravo frate. Mulțumesc ❤️

Great sollution, I have a peugot 308, and the whole rear light on the right wasnt working, also when pulling the direction indicator caused the clicking sound to be in double speed. I think the double speed clicking is caused by the pulse that is send to the lights are bounced back because there is no ground. Checking the connector showed indeed a deep corrosion of the ground pins. I perfomed the opperation showed in the movie, and now all the lights are working as well as the direction indicator.

Worked perfect! Any advice how to fix the 1.6L 308 that burns oil nonstop? Merci!

Thank you for the video just purchased a 207 and I discovered that both rear tail lights were not working at all. I performed this ground bypass but I still do not have any tail lights. The connectors on both sides were melted at the ground prong. I checked the rest of the wires and all were in good shape. Do the tail lights ground to a central ground? How likely is it that connector failure caused failures down the harness?

Fixed same issue today on 207, but I cleaned connector pins and socket with special cleaning product for good electrical contact and it works realy good for now. If the pins are oxidized thier resistance increase when resistance increase the voltage drop is bigger and more heat is generated. One side of the rear lights was burned so I replaced bulbs on each side and saw dimmer light on previous burned side so I suspectect this issue. Connector looks exactly the same as in video. Pin 5 definetly overheat some plastic melted. Probably I will replace conector some time later if problem shows again. Thanks for sharing.

Hi. I think you should go to an electrician for a check.

Salutare si multumesc pentru acest video. Imi poti spune, te rog, ce nr are pinul de masa al conectorului (cel oxidat/stricat)? De asemenea daca leg negativul voltmentrului la acest pin si pozitivul la pinul de semnalizare cati volti ar trebui sa am pe voltmetru? Diametrul cablului albastru cat este (banuiesc ca este litat) Multumesc frumos anticipat!!!

@AdrianDragan

Жыл бұрын

Salut. Pinul cu probleme are numarul 2 (cel putin asa este pe masina mea), poti vedea la minutul 3:55. Daca faci o masuratoare cu voltmetrul este probabil sa-ti fie afisata o tensiune mica (5-6 volti) deoarece este tensiunea pe care calculatorul masinii o trimite pentru a verifica prezenta becului, functionarea acestuia si integritatea circuitului. Daca deconectezi mufa si incerci sa actionezi semnalizarea este posibil sa nu primesti asa cum te-ai astepta tensiune de 12 volti deoarece calculatorul a detectat lipsa conexiunii si pentru siguranta nu mai alimenteaza o perioada de timp respectivul circuit. Nu stiu sa-ti spun exact diametrul cablului litat, probabil 1 - 1,5mm.
