Rear side lights not working

[Andrew1973]

Hi,
Got an issue with both rear taillights not working. They will switch on for second then go off. I’m getting fault in dash lights. I scanned yesterday and it says there is an issue with the rear comfort lights going to ground. Is this an issue with the bcm ?
Regards
Andrew

Have you done any work in your van recently. Courtesy lights?

 

[Andrew1973]

No, I did change the headlight switch, but put the old one back in and it didn’t make a difference.

By comfort lights is that courtesy lights. Do they work? Do your DRL's/front side lights work? is this fuse ok? Can you post an autoscan?

Have you recently installed a pop top or roof rails?

 

[Andrew1973]

No, major work. Here are the faults I’m picking up

The tail lights work for about 1 second when I switch the lights off, then they go off and then get warning on dash for lights

I had a similar issue with my rear lights they would work for a minute or 2 then switch off.
It turned out to be the interior light fuse had blown and it was this that was affecting the rear lights.

Have you changed any of the bulbs, for instance to LED?

I checked every fuse in the cabin and all good
