Now for the reverse light. I did some exploratory surgery and checked the stupid wire harness that goes to the trunk lid and sho'nuff there was a broken wire and 2 other wires about to break. A little bubble gum and toothpicks later I now have a reverse light again!
Having fixed that I checked the harness that goes to the tail light and tried the same thing of tugging on each wire to see if one is broken, but they all felt tight.
Ah the Germans and their inferior wiring.
