09 Tourer Rear Hatch-Lights Not Working

[Norwear]

Hello.

Anyone with xperience with the lights in the hatch not working. Acording to the manual on page 170 its the light B C and D. Somehow I have all I need in the lights on the side.

what DOES on the work on the hatch is

rear wiper

rear wiper washer

motorized hatch opener/close

anti fog/ ice

 

pardon my pore english on car details.

Check for blown fuses first, then check the multi-plugs on the rear of the light fittings.   You can get to them behind the small pull-out panels.   Also see if there's any voltage  when the lights are switched on.     Sometimes where the wiring passes through the convoluted rubber tube between the car body and the rear door the wiring can get broken.

Problem solved. It was not the fuse (there are no fuse only for the lights attached to the hatch). It was the bulbs...ALL OF THEM.. What are the odds for that?)

I bought the car this summer, so I haven't noticed it untill now due to daylight 24/7 untill september.

(Why does not the C5 have a bulb error warning in the dash? It seems like they hsve everything but that)

But thanks for the tip JohnD.

That is indeed unusual for all the bulbs to blow at once. Maybe something happened to cause them all to go. But happy for you that the problem is sorted.

I had this episode this summer when the 50amp fuse for the hydrolic and AC blew. They said it was unusual for that to happen. They searched for a few hours but could not find the reason. Maybe it happened then.

Strange but but.
