I have a 1982 Renault 4 TL, that's all ready to pass the Controle Technique, except for one problem: the tail light on the left hand side doesn't work any more.
It lights up when I brake, but when I drive with the lights on, only the right-hand tail light comes on. Obviously the lamp is only supplied by one pair of wires... and when I trace these back they go into a small control box, under the wheel, that appears to be linked on one side to the rear lights and on the other to the fusebox, the brake pedal and the control panel (I guess for the indicators). I can't be 100% sure though, because I left my Haynes in the scrapyard.
Everything seems to be firmly connected, so I'm guessing something in this box controls the illumination of the tail lights, and it has failed. Does this sound like a reasonable hypothesis? Where could I get another box? (I live in France)
