URGENT HELP REQUIRED :-(

[TWO]

Hi

BMW Z3 2.2, 2002

I am just checking the Zed over ready for an MOT tomorrow and have found the following : -

Front and rear side light bulbs (nearside) + Boot light bulb do not come on..............I have changed the bulbs over from the 'good to bad' side and the 'good' bulbs do not work The original bulbs appear to be fine in appearance.

Main headlights and indicators work fine

Thinking it was probably a fuse; I have checked the fuse that I believe is linked............but this includes the rear number plate illumination................but this works OK

Please could someone confirm the fuse/fuses to be checked or any other suggestions

I'm completely mystified

Can anyone offer any suggestions............Many thanks

fuse 33 and 37 are the two fuses you need to check... both 10amp

Check the wiring loom inside the boot that flexes when you open and close the boot, its a known reason why the boot brake light fails. Mel.

All resolved now..............fuse no. 33 replaced............must have blown when I re-connected the Boot Light Bulb.

Thanks to gookah & frog farmer

Next hurdle is the MOT
