    Earth Point Defender

    G'day again!
    I still have some troubles with the brake lights and rear fog light, having narrowed down the problem to a faulty earth connection somewhere. According to the workshop manual

    there should be an earth point somewhere near the RHS wheel arch, labeled C0558 on the above image.
    Despite looking closely I failed to discover this connection on my truck. Does someone of you know the exact location of this particular earth point? I am clueless... Before I forget, Defender 110 CCPU, MY 2001.
    I am grateful for all support!
    Cheers
    Johannes

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    Hi, if the lights work ok when the trailer is not connected it is most likely a trailer earthing issue. I would check those forst.

    Ta, Gordo!
    I have checked the trailer socket, cleaned and refitted everything. This solved only part of the problem, hence my suspicion the earth connection is the culprit.
