Replacing the lamp
Remove the synthetic trim from the rear wall trim on the left side.
On the right side, open the first aid kit and emergency triangle cover by turning the button.
Push the locking tab in the middle of the lamp support aside and remove the lamp support.
Replacing an incandescent lamp is done the same way in all cases: lightly press the lamp into the socket, turn it to the left and remove it.
When installing a dual-filament rear/fog light bulb, please note that its side mounting tabs are at different heights. This means that the bulb can only be inserted without force in a certain position.
Dismantling
Remove the lamp support (see section on replacing the lamp).
Loosen the housing mounting screws on the trunk or cargo area.
Remove the flashlight housing from the outside.
If the housing is glued to the body using a pad, it can be carefully pushed away from the metal using a screwdriver wrapped in a rag.
Reverse light switch
The reversing lights are flashed by a switch on the gearbox (see photo on next page), if the corresponding gear shift fork rod touches it when the reverse gear is engaged.
If the rear lights do not light when reverse gear is engaged, first check fuse 38.
If it is OK, disconnect the reverse light switch connector and short it with a piece of wire.
If the lights now light up, the switch is faulty.
But if the reversing lights do not light, then there is no conductivity in the wire going back (provided that the incandescent lamps are in good condition).
Left: the dismantled left rear light. The arrows show the mounting screws of the lamp housing.
Right: the photo shows the left lamp support in the rear of the Limousine model. In the support we will find the lamps;
1 - rear light;
2 - turn signal lamps;
3 - brake light;
4 - reversing lights;
5 - fog lamp.
The reversing lights are turned on and off by the switch (arrow) at the top of the manual transmission.
