Normally no fuses for the road lights. You need to check connections. Take off non working rear light glass & check earth wire is ok, white wire connected to metal body of light unit. I'm not sure if a caravan this age has plug in type light connectors but check for those.

If still no good dismantle the black 12n plug that goes into car socket. It may well be wet & corroded inside. Strip back wires to clean & rewire. Use a new plug, only a few £s. Google '12n wiring' to get a wiring diagram.

The only other thing could be juction box where power is split off to lights from front cable. You will have to hunt for that & check connections.

Have you dismantled black 12n socket that plugs into car as I described? It sounds like your problem is there. Reverse light if connected, works from pin1 of grey 12s socket.

Oh well, job done then. If you are bothered about reverse lights on caravan first check reverse light bulbs on caravan are ok. Then check you have power coming from grey 12s socket on car. With car reverse lights on, put voltmeter across pin1 & pin3 & you should have power.

Hi we have a 1990 globestar and have the same problem, it is caused by bad connections at the light end just clean all your connectors on your rear light clusters. Hubby says even though you think you have done this he found he hadn't done it nearly enough the first two times.

 

Having said that I wish your great joy our Glbestar is our first caravan we have owned her for nearly 2 years now shes lovely and has been a joy to own. Every now and then we go look at new caravans and end up deciding we are happy with our Globestar.

Enjoy your caravaning.

 

Dawn
