Had a flickering rear light that then failed altogether. Bulb checks out OK, so checked voltages on the terminals in the bulb holder and here's the thing. I'm getting 13 volts across one set - presumably the brake light as this works OK, but only 9 volts across the other. Surely I should be getting 12 or 13 across them both.
One other factor - the number plate bulb was not working either - traced that to corrosion in the bulb holder and broken terminal on the tiny bulb. Cleaned the holder up and this is giving 12.5volts but I don't have a replacement bulb yet
Could the number plate bulb and the rear light bulb be wired together in some way so that if one fails the voltage to the other is affected?
