Tail lamp, right error
Hi, I dont have any ideas. My outside tail red light is gone. There was no any error signs on cluster. Ok, I change the bulb- no result. I cleaned the lamp box (this badge which connect bulb with lamp). I measured a tension on the fail bulb and I have about 9V, other side bulb have about 12V - first mistake. I take wire and connect the same bulb from booth sides (wire bridge). I got bulb shine correct BUT it show cluster fault: TAIL LAMP, RIGHT. When I disconnect the wire bridge bulb not shine-the fault doesn’t show. Could you help me how to mislead the computer or something other solution? Thanks!

At the connector to the tail lamp, probe the #1 Gray/Blue wire contact for 12v. What is the voltage?
If the voltage is below 12v, go to the rear SAM and locate conn. D.
Find wire #10 Gray/Blue and probe contact for 12V. What is the voltage?

Remove the LEFT side marker socket with bulb and install it in the right side. Does it light up?
There are supposed to be six wires in the connector. Why do these two wires have tape on them?
There is an extra wire. Does this wire go into the connector?

One of them have tape because is connecting addition rear parktronic (R gear bulb), second is empty tape.
This gold wire I connected because I want to check my failure bulb. In my gold wire is 12V but In oryginal grey/blue from REAR SAM is like I measured.

I thought you understood what we are talking about but I see that it is not. first I had a problem with the bulb and then I added another cable to check if the bulb works. the cable is temporary and I took it out for measurements. Unfortunately, it is impossible to connect the lamps cross because they have different plugs. but if you do not know how to help it, take it easy

stop the guest. I know the differences between the light bulb and the socket. I also exchanged the sockets. if it were so simple, I would not seek help in the forum

Well why do you always say bulb and why didn't you say that you changed the socket. Why do I have to pull everything out of you?
