rpsamme Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) I have a 2004 3.0 V6 Estate and the rear passenger side bulb keeps going within 5 or 10 mins of replacing. Does any idea what could be wrong? I am going over to France with it on Satuday and worried of getting pulled over by the police if one of the bulds are out. Many thanks Richard Edited August 24, 2016 by rpsamme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpsamme Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Yes they are the correct bulbs. I will try changing the fuse, but it the fuse had gone would it work for the first few minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastline taxis Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 ou might have the wrong ampage (higher than 10 amp) fuse in and have a power supply issue. 1st though get a multimeter and test the voltage to the sidelight then get someone to prss the brake pedal and see what voltage you get as really the one bulb is serving 2 systems so u need to know which one is causing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeLane Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sounds strange to me. Is this the only bulb to blow? If so it might be worth swapping it with the working bulb from the driver's side. If this blows then I think it's a voltage supply problem to the N/S bulb and then you may need an auto electrician to check why the voltage to this connector is too high. If it doesn't then the bulbs you are using as replacements are duff and you'll need to get new ones from a Citroen garage to be sure they're correct.When driving in France one needs to carry replacement bulbs ( as well as high vis jackets etc., etc.....).Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
