2008 Ford Mondeo Mk4 2L diesel
In this video we had an intermittent light failure at the back sometimes the lights would work sometimes they would not but most of times they would work for a couple of seconds and then turn off in most modern cars for the lesser power lights they do not run on a traditional fuse circuit they are controlled by a module which monitors the resistance if it finds high resistance it will shut off whatever it controls to save the module so it's always best to know your circuit first and know what you are dealing with and with most of these things when you get a faulty you have to obviously fix it and in some cases you have to reset the module

My first career was electronics and corroded contacts was a common problem. We would use contact cleaner spray and with something like a connector, push the connectors in and out say 5 or 10 times after spraying with contact cleaner, which would sort the issue out. You can do the same with switches; with a switch you can't take them apart, but you can spray them with contact cleaner and then turn the switches again 5 times to clean them. As an electronic engineer, and now 25 years of computing, it seems madness to have this level of automation of sensing resistance and then turning off circuits. It just leads to wasted time and effort for folks like yourself to diagnose and fix issues like this! It's just over engineering when something simpler will suffice! Let's just say too many computers and automation is not a good thing! Btw thx for making the videos; I don't show enough appreciation and always enjoy your videos!

This bloody mk4's have quite a handful of rear light problems. My mk4 has only a rear left bulb holder problem where the spring pin for the brake + (21w/5w) wire in the bulb doesn't have enough contact and the message appears that there is a problem with the rear brake light. I just lifted a bit the pin upwards to make a better contact and now the damn brake light works. It's good to know that it also can be resistance in a connector problem in similar cases so thanks for your video, it will be useful in the future if it comes to this situation :-D

I work on refrigeration equipment, had a customer fill a connector with milk... made a bit of a mess at 240v ac. Managed to clean it out by using a short piece of multi strand copper wire in a drill, stripped a bit of insulation off and made a little wire brush out of the wire. Just an idea, might be helpful in the future!

Do you ever use contact grease? I work on Jaguars a lot, if you want electrical gremlins, they are the one to go for, I've found using even a very light smear of Vaseline can make a huge difference. Not once they have corroded, after it's cleaned again...

On the mk4 on a rainy day you'll find that when opening the hatch that not only the water pours out of those drainage channels leon showed but what hasn't got that far yet will flow back onto the glass and off each edge into the boot. Also the washer jet has been known to leak as well. So the boot can get quite soggy at times.

Don't really need to use that particular test here mate as soon as it senses high resistance it will shut off the circuit so you know you've got a problem straight away without really doing anything

I don't know mate this is just a natural drain because of the way the rear spoiler and fixings work it is stupid I know so once the boot is closed and it's not an issue but it is stupid and annoying do not block them up as you will cause more issues in the long run
