Default Tail light won't work. HELP!

Hi,

I've had a look all over these forums and can't find a solution for my problem.

I have an 07 Audi A3 2.0 TDi. My rear left tail light (side light) stopped working so initially i thought it must of been a blown bulb. Replaced the bulb with no avail.

i then checked the connection to the bulb/cluster for corrosion as i know this can be a common fault. bulb/cluster was immaculate with no signs of corrosion.

Next i went to replace the fuse only to find out there's only one fuse per on board power supply for each left and right light cluster. Seen as though the brake light and indicators work etc it can't be that otherwise they wouldn't work too.

What else could this be? fault tail light switch? if so where is this located? I'm completely out of solutions and don't fancy paying £50 for some guy at Audi to diagnose a faulty bulb which should be a penny fix.

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Matt

Have you scanned the car for codes?

Nope not yet. I ideally need someone local to scan the car for me for cheap. I can't justify paying Audi £50 for a dodgy light bulb.

Know of anyone around the SE19 area?

Cheers.
