Hey guys,

I have a loose connection going to one of my rear brake light bulb holders (not exactly sure what theyre called). Its causing the brake light to come on when it wants to and also blew a fuse. If you wiggle the wire around evantually it will come back on but as soon as you go over a bump or anything like that its back off. I want to resolder/secure the wire more, but not exactly sure how to get in there to do so. As far as I can see its all one piece and cant come apart. Any ideas?

Thanks, Andrew

If it's anything like my R33 4door & my Bluebird, there is a plastic tab/clip thing on the end towards the middle of the boot. Other end towards the side of the car is kinda just held in with a tongue type dealie.

If you push it in (tab/clip thang) while pulling towards the front of the car, with a bit of jiggling it should let go and swing open for you to expose the bulbs and wires... Took me a couple of goes cause it can stick abit. Firm but gentle is the key.:thumbsup:

Goodluck.

hey mate thanks for the reply but think u may mean how to get to the bulb, I should have explained myself a bit better.

I can get the bulb out of the actual whole light assemble but Im talking about the bulb socket (sorry not sure of the actual name), it may be different on ur 4dr.

Iv taken some pic to show what i mean. i want to get inside the part with the red arrow.
