Hi all,

I don't know much about cars and am just asking a question for a relative of mine.*

He owns a Fiat Ducato 2.3 TD. The left side lights are not working, while the right side lights are working. All other lights are fine. He cannot figure out what the problem is. There is no electricity coming to the bulb sockets and he checked the fuses. When he connects a trailer to the van, the trailer has the same problem*- only left side lights don't light up.

Thanks for your help

Check your fuses. I have had at least one car with a fuse for each side which is not what I was expecting.

The manual states that there is only 1 fuse for sidelights

Hi

Possibly a poor Earth connection..

If they have access to a test.bulb

Or a basic meter

Connect one end to the bulb holder and the other to a bolt head on the bodywork..or engine

Question..

Does the bulb failure warning show on the dash..?

Thanks Varesecrazy.

Will tell him to check the earth issue.

No warning lights on the dashboard. The ABS light was showing for around a month but now it disappeared.

If the body computer detects a bulb of the wrong wattage it may cut the power.

Thats interesting..

Not seen that before

I discovered it when I had a sidelight bulb blow and didn't have the correct replacement. Put a slightly higher wattage bulb in and none of the lights on that side wouldn't work.
Got the correct bulb and they did.
I have never found any sidelight fuses on my X2/50
My understanding is the body computer cuts the power when it detects an overloaded circuit, so a fuse would be superfluous.

I guess the first step is to confirm that it is an X250?
