Hatch wiring..?
My 2004 panda didn't blow a bulb.. Or Fuse in 90k over 14 years.
Blown fuses is usually an indication of a bigger problem

2009 500 light problem along with centre wheel indicator blank | FIAT 500 (2007+)
I have just bought my first 500 and I am chuffed to hell. I noticed the offside tail light bulb was not working and asked the handyman at the garage to replace it before I drove it away. Whether or not it was deliberate but he reckoned he had blown a fuse and did not want to finish the job as he...

Seems to know his way around the 500 wiring,
did that thread tell you much?
Otherwise just pull the lower Value fuses.. Having a good look at them

Thanks for the info there is a small fuse box under the dash and one under the bonnet.
If the rear tail lights work then its not the fuse( which is not listed in the manual) check, before any repair area the yellow/green stripe wire that supplies power to the number plate lights, does the boot release handle work for the tail gate? Also check the earth to the number plate lights, all lights have their own earth wire ?

Tanks John for your help, this is a strange fault you are right it is not a fuse, the wiring is a mess it has been "fixed" before there are many bare wiresat first I did find the wire you quoted was broken I repared it and the number plate light worked not long after the little triangle on the dash came on it was the lights again this time the yellow/green light was ok there were no other obvious broken wires, I used .
woshilaoDS Solder Seal Wire Connectors,
ome of these were already used by a previous owner, I then decided to remove all of these kind of connectors and use wire soldered in, after I had done about 8 I decided to fire it up again and the lights were back on, I do not know if I have sorted this or if there is an intermittent breakage somewere there were quite a few wires that were intact but the insulation was cracked exposing the wire.
