No power to puddle light

Sprinterman · 05-11-2022, 08:53 AM

All my puddle lights work apart from rear left door. There is no power coming from the puddle light loom, I've noticed the loom wires are chafed (see image) any solutions anybody? Much appreciated (stock photo not actual wiring,tested the puddle lamp in the other doors and it does work

That looks like rodent damage. You can fix broken wires with these: https://www.amazon.com/Connectors%EF...dDbGljaz10cnVl

Thanks mate, I will seal the wires, but why no power? Will the exposed copper wire affect power to the puddle light?

The exposed copper may have contacted metal, blowing the fuse.

But aren't all 4 puddle lights connected to one fuse? All the other three are working

Anyone know the answer to the above 2?
