I have purchased a 2011 A4 SE TDI E AVANT 2.0 DIESEL Estate.
It appears someone has changed the lights, the rear lights have a connector with 5 wires going in. But the loom only has 4 wires. This appears to be on the rear lights in the quarter panel and in the tailgate.
I found this because the lights in the tailgate weren’t working. I popped the flap off and they weren’t connected. I connected them and when the lights are switched on those lights in the tailgate are fully lit up. When they are disconnected the other lights all work fine.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, does something need programming, has it been wired up wrong, do you know why this would have been fitted this way. Have I been sold a duff with the wrong lights fitted?
Thanks in advance. Happy to get involved with the wiring and re wire if someone knows what I should be connected to what. I can upload pictures if needed.
