I'm a Total Newbie!
The 2013 boxer has two number plate lights. One was working. Other needed new bulb. Put new bulb in and they both stopped working.

The wires going to the original broken one is cerroded and snapped.

Wiring in a bulb now. But both still not working. I guess the fuse has gone.

No diagram under the fuse panel cover - (really helpful as always Peugeot! 👎)

Does anyone know which one is for the number plate lights?


Also one appears to be missing. Is this normal or could it be why my air bag light has always been on?

If you have a multi tester just check each fuse with it you will soon find it if one is blown🤔😊
 
Not all the lighting circuits are fused on Ducato's they rely on the elctronics for protection. I know the indicators are not fused.
 
I did post on here before about this, in my Hymer I changed ALL the fuses for the led type, when a fuse blows an led lights on the fuse, so finding which is the problem fuse is a doddle, good luck

Who's a clever boy? I might just copy you!
 
Well, I got it working.

The whole thing has been butchered at some point.

The two holders are different and the wiring too them is "interesting". The wire has been spliced into by someone with crimp connectors, with no wire coming out one end.

I cut out the ceroded wire and stripped some back. I then wrapped it around the festoon bulb holder.

It lights up and both are now working. Just that pesky super computer doesn't believe that they work. When I turn on the ignition I still get the warning light and text.

Would it fail an MOT if the warning light is on even if all lights are in fully working order?

Also replaced the bulbs in the high break light and it's still telling me to "check stop lights".

I hate this modern 💩

Specsavers for you, that's the Brake Light Switch fuse.
:oops2:
So it is. That's bloke style multi-tasking for you. I was hopping back 'n forth 'twixt computer and an apple pie in the oven and getting confused as I couldn't find which was the apple pie fuse.
 
Try soldering the joint instead of “wrapping” them together, makes for a better (less) value resistance
 
I get a warning for indicator blub out every time i use my right indicators even though they all work fine and I have replaced the blubs, It hasn't been mentioned during the last 3 mots .

Are the bulbs the correct wattage rating ? 5w each for the plate light, 21w for the stop lights
 
I think any warning is an MOT failure. Get a dealer to reset the fault code?

I guess it doesn't mention that there is a fault when ignition is on and MOT guy just puts hazards on.

Sort of hoping that if they fail me on it I can just got all them around the back of the van and point at two working bulbs.
