The car had still this minor issue with the left parking light. Also I was hoping the new law for cars older then 50 years being exempted for MOT would have kicked in. But that law got postponed. Meaning next month the car needs MOT again. So time to get the issue fixed.
As per given blog, the fuseholder had already been renewed but without result. It cured a flaky contact though. But also the left parking light stopped working since.
When doing some simple measurement it became evident there was no 12v to both lights. And I couldn't localize where there was a potential cable failure or a faulty connector. So I ran a complete new wire and both parking lights were working again. Hurray.
But now the left indicator light failed. After double checking again I noticed it was due to a bad connector. Likely it went "faulty" when checking the parking light connectors. The whole wiring is a bit messy and with old corroded contacts. Below just a small example ...
In any case, all is working for the moment so I can make an appointment and hopefully no surprises at the MOT.
