Right tail lamp failed

I changed all the bulbs but still they don't work. The only one that is working right now is the stop sign.

Check all the fuses, if fuses ok, then check the wire at the light connection, the jag is really a ford along with its faults, common fault is the earth on the light and the light bulb holder also plays up

2009 audi tt quattro 3.2l v6 brake light clusters complete failure

automatic transmission or manual stick, the brake/clutch switch operations are NOT THE SAME on both car options.
no country told, lighting (for sure external) are not the same all over earth, sorry I do not make laws (like DOT USA?) or anywhere.
this forum is www, a world wide web forum. so where are you ,a country.?
and you work with no voltmeter or service manual schematic.
and no scan tool? wow endless guessing done. throwing parts wild.
its is modern car, 2009 totally unlike a 1990 or 1980 or older car.
for sure.
there is never a need to replace all fuses ever, testing is super easy even if they all look good. (did they?). (look test, ohms or volts tests)

that melting thing means a lamp shorted. (they can)
I see reverse lamps failing and parking lamps
the transmission PRNDL SWITCH MUST WORK IN "R" OR THE LAMPS WILL BE DEAD REVERSE. BOTH WERE SO.....
I GUESS INDICATOR MEANS turns signals failed( blinkers)
the car has 4 corners, why not tell what all 4 do when Turns or parks fail.?>??? what they all do outside matters most. (electrics)

the huge problem here is not scanning the OBD2 port with a real scan tool. I bet it tells you why it fails I sure do but you failed to do that.

does this car have the parking AID option?
does this car have optioin
Daytime Running Lamps, a.k.a DRL?>? also wiring for TT is unique so states the SM (service manual)
i can't see you work on any car so now comes right parts questioln
using only these parts.,
Rear Turn Signal Bulb
  1. Left/right Rear Turn Signal Bulb M6
  2. Right Rear Turn Signal Bulb M8
  3. 12 V, 18 W
  4. W16W
the German manual calls park lamps TAIL even when front and side park lamps are park lamps. same source.
It does call TURNS turns, so we can find the correct schematics,
searching the online service manual for you.
most modern cars, use BCM to run all that. I call it the body brain
each maker uses there names and Germans use CODES
LIke J123. to name a model. (that must be decoded first to work the problem, yes a pain on all germane cars)
deep in the manual i found the secret german body brain
J519 - Vehicle Electrical System Control Module
this module runs the whole rear (it has DRIVERS)
Drives means electronic high power regulator drivers to lamps.
that if it sees a short , it simply goes OFFLINE until cures.
then magically goes back on one,

J519 - Vehicle Electrical System Control Module
M6 - Left Rear Turn Signal Bulb
M8 - Right Rear Turn Signal Bulb
M9 - Left Brake Lamp Bulb
M10 - Right Brake Lamp Bulb
M16 - Left Back-Up Lamp Bulb
M17 - Right Back-Up Lamp Bulb
M37 - Left Rear Side Marker Lamp Bulb
M38 - Right Rear Side Marker Lamp Bulb
T2g - 2-Pin Connector, In the Luggage Compartment, Right, Black
T6k - 6-Pin Connector
T6l - 6-Pin Connector, Black
T12c - 12-Pin Connector, Black
T12d - 12-Pin Connector, Brown
X3 - Rear Fog Lamp
395 - Ground Connection 30 (in Main Wiring Harness)
662 - Ground Connection in Left Rear Side Panel
676 - Ground Connection 2 in Luggage Compartment, Left
------------------------

J519 is here
Behind driver's left stowage compartment, beside steering column -2

Fuse 7 (On Fuse Panel C)? blown fuse?
this car uses CAN BUS.
many of the switches wire directly to the J519 Body brain
but not all.
lets look at that now, (my book is USA only SM)
the steering switchs for park, turn and heads.
are all sent to the cluster brain directly,
then the cluster brain via the CAN_BUS network sends data commands to the J519 (body brain)
then if this fails the scan tool told you it did but you never scanned the OBD2 port. while failing
others found water leaks to dash module (windshield cracks or glued in wrong and leaks)
some Audi versions 2009 have top of brake pedal brake switch that must work, and is direct drive signal to J519
TURNS are not switch actual direct drive to the J519. no.


example 1
U1113 Audi Code
lacking scan tools you will never fix this by guessing. sorry
CAN Bus wiring intermittently open, shorted to power or ground
U0001
U0155<< lost comms to IP cluster.
and more lots and lots more possible
we check all fuses in all fuses boxs A ,B,C etc.
then scan the OBD2 port. for errors. for sure comm errors'

see this fuse box?

Main Fuse Box in Right Rear of Luggage Compartment on Battery see? drivers (electronic) to each lamp. proof (no fuses to lamps)
so if one lamp shorts. the other do not die. by design
and J519 must get the commands to turn them on first.

Rear tail lights running lights not working on my 2003 Buick Park Avenue

Check the wire grounds where the lens connect to the vehicle. With a test light check to make sure current is arriving at the bulbs. If not, then follow the wires back to the light switches.

2011 Kia Sorento passenger side brake lights not working

Light bulbs require power and ground in order to work. The ground circuit for the left rear combination lamp is shared between the turn lamp, stop lamp and tail lamp. Because the tail light still works in that specific combination lamp, we know that the shared/common ground for that assembly is OK. The power circuit for both stop lamps (left and right) have the same origin; voltage flows from the STOP LP FUSE (15A) through the DBC RELAY (when the stop lamp switch is pressed) and then to each stop lamp via their respective circuit branches. Because the right stop lamp works, we know that the shared/common fuse, relay and switch are all OK. I'd suspect an open in the left stop lamp power supply branch and would recommending checking for voltage on the green & black wire at the left rear combination lamp assembly to confirm. Regarding the left lamp on the hatch, the wiring diagram indicates these are not stop lamps rather tail lamps only. I'd recommend installing a tail lamp bulb instead of a brake light bulb into that assembly as a first step.

Headlamps on, both brake lamps are on;hit brake, left brake lamp brightens, right lamp remains dim;headlamps off, hit brake, only left lamp lights. What could be the problem?

Your right brake light is not the same bulb as your rear running light that comes on with the headlights. Different bulbs. Your right brake light is simply burnt out or has worked its way out of the connection. Take it to Advance Auto Parts. They may even change it for you. Not a big problem.

2004 Chrys Concorde, new utility trailer, tail light converter. Problem: There is output from conv box in yellow wire, when turn signal is on, but when it is connected to the trailer harness, no output...

Your vehicle CANNOT be wired for a trailer without using the converter box. The only vehicles that do not require a converter box are the vehicles that use the stop lamp bulb as a turn signal. Your vehicle is equipped with SEPARATE stop lamp and turn signal bulbs.

To make the converter box work correctly, it must be wired according to the instructions to BOTH the stop lamps AND the turn lamps. The tail (or PARK) lamps DO NOT go through the converter box.
Your trailer uses the SAME bulb for stop and turn - THIS is the reason you need a converter.

The wire color for both your LEFT TURN and your RIGHT TURN are LIGHT GREEN/TAN. Although the wire colors are the same at the bulb sockets, these are SEPARATE circuits and must be wired to the correct wire at the converter box. (LEFT and RIGHT) The converter box will have an INPUT connection for EACH of these.

The wire color for your STOP lamps is WHITE/TAN. The converter box should only have one INPUT wire that connects to this. It doesn't matter which side of the vehicle you connect this wire to. All of the stop lamps are on the same circuit.

The converter will then have only one wire for LEFT turn and stop (usually YELLOW) this is the wire that needs to go to your trailer connector for left turn and stop.
The RIGHT turn and stop will most likely be GREEN coming out of the converter.

2001 jaguar s type - Right tail lamp failure message.... I replaced bulbs and fuse and tail lights still don't work but the dual element right break light does illuminate when I press the break also right...

There is a harness that you unplugged for the rear tail lamp. Make sure it is fully pressed and locked. This is always the cause on jags for tail lamp failure.
