Hi,
I've just changed the bulbs of the reverse lights and fog lights, but
the lights still doesn't work.
So I guess either it's the sockets or the wiring.
(I just wondered if this is a typical issue, before I start looking with
my voltmeter)
Does anyone have any suggestions/tips where to start searching?
The car is a 1994 Alfa 155 2.0
Thank you,
Christian, Denmark

Well, when I switch on the fog lights, there's only 0.36V in the jack
connected to the socket, and 0V when I put the car in the reverse gear.
So, I think I got a quest now: Finding the bad connection.
Does anyone know if the wires from the jack is long wires all the way up
front?
Where can I find a wiring diagram of an 1994 Alfa 155?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

I'm sure that you've checked the fuses, but I just had to mention it..

Yeah the fuses seems to be okay.

Christian. I had trouble with my reversing lights, the bulbs were OK but
they kept going out. Its a 146ti 1996 and it has a plastic bulb holder, I
found you could strip them right down and give them a good cleaning. It
worked for me, hope you have the same result.

I tried to clean the left sockets, but nothing changed. I measured the
voltage on the reverse light jack at the socket, and it measured 0V.
A mechanic told me it could be the reverse light switch.
I'm going to the garage on tuesday to change the cooler so I'll tell
them to have a look at the reverse lights too.
