How To Fix The Trunk Light? Skoda And Other Cars

[@kaialgedage]

Thank you very much for this video! This helped a lot 😊😊 ⛺️ in the car and had to remove the switch for the light, with your video I removed the switch and light off

[@DespairRepair]

Hi, glad the video helped, and thanks for watching! 🙂

[@samuelcantu2967]

Thank u sir. I noticed my light still didn't work, but I noticed if it would touch metal in a certain spot it would turn on. I put the light back in its place and it's not making contact. No light

[@DespairRepair]

You're welcome and thanks for watching! I didn't quite understand the question but I'll give it a try. Some lights use the metal holding clip for a ground connection. If it doesn't have good contact with the car body, the light won't work. Hope this helps.

Hi Bro Same question here Did you find out how to fix it, same i have jetta 2012 bulb is working when it’s touching metal surface otherwise it’s not working

Hi Looking for Reply Thanks

Pozdrav. Ja imam drugi problem u skodi. Kod mene se svetlo ne ugasi kad zatvorim gepek. Znate li sta moze biti u pitanju?

[@DespairRepair]

Pozdravljam i hvala na gledanju. Ako je Fabia, ja bi prvo pogledao mikroprekidac na bravi od gepeka. Ti prekidaci su im boljka na svim bravama. Probajte promrdati srafcigerom (pazite prste) i naprskajte WD40 ili kontakt sprejom. Meni je to pomoglo, nada se da ce i Vama.

@@DespairRepair Nema na cemu, naprotiv, hvala Vama na brzom odgovoru. Sad ja dubim dalje 😊 a sa koje strane se nalazi, na samim vratima ili na fixnom delu u sasiji? I da , Fabia 1 Combi je u pitanju

[@DespairRepair]

@@zeljcvidovic342 nema na cemu drago mi ako moze ista pomoci 🙂. Meni je pomoglo kad sam naspricao bravu na vratima gepeka i malo je razradio. Fabia ista ko moja, dobar auto

Hi is there by any chance you would no if there is a fuse for the light because mine did short circuit oh and I have a vw touran 1.9tdi thanks in advance

[@DespairRepair]

Hi and thanks for watching. Yes, there is a fuse for sure. On my Skoda which the video was done on, it's fuse number 36. There should be a diagram on your car's fuse box lid or in the user manual.

Pozdrav druze . Kad sam mjenjao sijalice na svjetlu za tablice koristio sam metal da istisnem sijalicu i obe su prestale da rade . Gledao sam osigurace i svi su ok i probo vise sijalica i i dalje ne radi . Sta se moglo desiti tu . Hvala na odgovoru

[@DespairRepair]

Pozdrav i hvala sto si pogledao video. Jesi gledao jeli dolazi struja i masa na kontakte od sijalica?

[@nikolapetrovic6040]

@@DespairRepair Nisam gledao nemam nesto puno alata. Može li se multimetrom pogledati . Ili sarafcigerom ispitivacem? Hvala. Poslje toga spoja je bilo proradilo na par sekundi i prestalo i od tada nikakvog znaka zivota.

[@nikolapetrovic6040]

@@DespairRepair Yes indeed! I managed to find that out today because I replaced the bulb after shorting it yesterday and it worked...only to blow again when putting the assembly back into the body Rule 1. Don't have the lights on when replacing bulbs. Rule 2. If you stupidly forget Rule 1 and cause a short circuit. Turn ignition on off which seems to reset it. Nasao sam i ovo u jednoj Skoda grupi ali ne razumijem nabolje prevod teksta tj. sta tacno trebam uraditi

[@DespairRepair]

@@nikolapetrovic6040 moze multimetrom, podesi na 12 volti (jednosmjerna struja) i pogledaj jeli ima napona na kontaktima. Obicnim ispitivacem nemoze jer radi na 220 volti. Moze samo za 12 volti, to je ispitivac sto ima stipaljku zakacenu za srafciger.

[@flipdamadapakincoin]

This connector is also for VW?

[@DespairRepair]

Hi and thanks for watching! This is from a Skoda so, yes it should be the same or very similar.

[@flipdamadapakincoin]

@@DespairRepair oh cool thanks for the quick reply.. happy holidays! 💯

[@DespairRepair]

@@flipdamadapakincoin you're welcome and happy holidays and all the best to you too!

[@Fireman4ik1]

Trying to get rid of shattered glass from a speaker and used a metal screwdriver to disconnect a lightning cable. No it’s not working 🤦‍♂️ Wish i saw your video earlier))

[@DespairRepair]

Hope the video helps and thanks for watching 🙂

[@MaybeJuraj4K]

I make it all, and still doesn't works..

[@DespairRepair]

Hi Juraj and thanks for watching! Did you pinpoint the problem, was it actually the lightbulb or something else (like the switch, connector, etc). Some more information would be good. Btw, nice channel and good videos.

[@franciscocarvalho2970]

There is a diode in the circuit, if it is open, current will not reach the bulb.

[@JamesStern-wr3pf]

@@franciscocarvalho2970 Lights of this type use a 71N400 type diode, typically seems to be fitted with the grey band at the end of the diode fitted so that the grey band is furthest from the electrical connection end of the fitment. It seems that sometimes the diode fails - these diodes are available at very low cost online such as from the most commonly used online auction site. However, for reasons unknown, not all light fitments of this type incorporate the diode - some just don't have it, and therefore have less to go wrong.
