Worth giving the Earth crowns behind the fuse box a clean.

Ok will try that tomorrow. Just typical that a simple job turns into a nightmare!

Does anyone know how to test and trace faults on a multimeter?

did you clean up the bulb holders and the contacts within?

They all seem to have return to life today??? Accept for the nearside tail light. It is also a new cluster so thinking there might be a wire contact to the cluster rusted or broken?
