Hello dear forum members, We have recently also become the owner of a Mini Countryman 1.6d. When purchasing the vehicle we noticed the error message: “Back and brake light on the left defective”. Without thinking anything bad we bought the car. It is not affected the complete tail light, but only the upper light bulb is completely dark. After replacing it remained without function. Then we measured the current on the plug and only then found that there is no voltage on the contact. The cable harness seems to run forward on the right side of the vehicle (probably in the direction of the fuse box). Would someone help us and tell us in which direction we could look further? We would be very grateful for every tip!
