[St] Things that would cause a tail lights to have no power...?



Hope someone can help with this. Am preparing for big-ish trip in 10 days time or so (Five days to cover UK - Toulouse - Milan - Furka and Susten passes in Switzerland - UK, with about a day of work in Toulouse along the way). Probably only big trip this year, so looking forward to it etc.

Just fitted new tyres (Pilot Road 2 - replacing Pilot Road 1s(?) that worked fine for me). Out on a short run to bed tyres in and noticed that tail lights weren't working. Stop lights working fine. Both tail lights out - which made me suspect it wasn't bulbs.

Got home and checked - Tail light bulb filaments working OK, but there is no power reaching the tail light contact in the rear bulb holders. First connector after the rear bulb holder looks fine, so loss of power further back in loom...

Haven't got time between now and Sunday to pull off the panels and trace fault, so just wondered if anyone has any thoughts about where would be best to look first? I think it unlikely that anything would have been done during tyre change - but that's a possibility I suppose. Or maybe a fuse? Unfortunately I can't reliably remember when I last saw the tail lights working OK...

Anyhow - any suggestions / thoughts about where I should look would be much appreciated.

Regards
