Faulty back light - Jon3sy - 16:th-Aug-2017
Hi folks

Try changing the bulb. The filament might have become detached, and tapping it temporarily reattaches it again.
Also, try cleaning the bulb contacts.

hi mate I had the same problem on a kia, I was forever changing bulbs,so what I did was to switch lights and ingnition off and with a small screwdriver scraped the contacts in the bulb holder, the pins may look good but give a try, plus a new bulb will help.
since then I had no problems.
good luck chap.............

I've just had the same problem on the passenger side!! Replaced the bulb, seems to be sorted!!
