rayc Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) It may not be much help to you but I saw this post on the Fiat Forum. Note it says it is a 'Wella' part but think it is a 'Hella'. https://www.fiatforum.com/threads/replacing-rear-fog-lamp-in-auto-trail-scout-2007.419663/ Edited October 30, 2023 by rayc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithl Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You say both bulbs are out but have you confirmed that power is getting to the rear of the chassis? It is unusual for both bulbs to blow and often a lack of power causing the fault. AutoTrail used to fit a junction box at the rear of the chassis at the point where there chassis extensions were added so can you look and see if you have anything like a junction box to check for power.

Mr Nelly Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Thanks Keith I'll have a look at that tomorrow I've had to change a few bulbs recently as my front and rear header lights had blown too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labby Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 If you find there is not any power at the rear connections it would be worth checking if the rear fog lamp fuse ( F53 7.5 amp ) in the under-dash fuse box is ok ? There also is a fog lamp fuse (F30 15 amp ) and fog lamp relay in the engine compartment fuse box , but they may be for front fog lamps .

onecal Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Hi The 2007 Autotrail model was also not so easy as access is very tight. Removing the bumper is the one option or just loosen to let it out one side and replace that side . You may need a helper to hold while you check the bulb and it's connections and wiring You may find the bulb/bulbs may not be gone but the connectors at the back badly corroded as I have found many times with this model Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
