    Hi Mate,

    Have you had a look at the wiring where it passes into the body near the hinge on the boot lid. This can crack and cause problems...

        Don't know the colours or how many there are. You will have to wait for an expert to turn up!

          I had a similiar problem. Best thing to do is to download these 3b electrical schematics from here // right click...Save As >>

          Clicky Here


          The diagram you need is Schema number 10....the key is a word document.

          Also, you could measure the voltage across bulb contact or wire where it connects to the bulb cluster.
          Write down the readings that you get form doing this on the good side of the car (eg/ the working light cluster..with the lights switched on of course...brake lights etc will not work of course though!)

          Then do the same on the non working side.
          Is there a dead wire??

          If so then trace it back to teh loom and locate the break// OR// wire a new bit of suitable wire in from the otehr end back to the cluster.
          Thats what I had to do anyway!! There may well be a better way to do it
