Rear Fog Light

[Will Eastman 6]

I have done a search but havnt found anything to help, the car has failed the MOT on a foglight not working. I have tested the volts across the fog light plug and its showing about 6 volts. I have cleaned up the light housing and it is showing continuity between the spade connectors and the terminals on the housing. By my understanding this would mean that the bulb is getting 6v but it is not lighting up. Will the bulb only light up if it gets the full 12v?

you probably need to cut back the wires a little though if you're lucky just the plug terminals.

What so you think that there isnt enough voltage getting through?

Cut the wire back and found a poor connection, all sorted now, thanks

Where did you get the mot done, mate?

Hey got it done at oldfields on the new industrial estate. Passed now, so very happy. You live locally then?
