High mounted parking light error

Oct 20, 2004 2 Replies

The mounted parking light failed on my 96 850 turbo. I measured the voltage across the two nodes, it showed up randomly among 12,5,0v. kinda weird. Anyone experienced same problem?



I'm assuming you mean the brake light in the rear window... There's a sliding contact that wears out. Try pulling the light away from the window a couple of millimetres.

You could try removing the assembly, cleaned the contacts with sand paper, apply some dielectric grease to the tabs and reinstall. If it still doesn't work or if the tabs are broken off you will need to replace it.
