Rear Light Cluster Fail

Post by DM206ster »

I have a 206 (year 2000) that has developed a rear near side light cluster failure. All lights (indicators, Reverse and Brake) do not work, I performed the usual checks bulbs, fuses etc. but all seem good, there is no corrosion or water ingress that I can see within the lens. Could this be a symptom BSI problem, or is it another known issue?

Appreciate any help

Move likely a loose or broken wire

Ok thank you, where would the best place to test the wiring with a meter, at the light end or somewhere nearer the fuse box?
