[QUOTE="89Rallye, post: 475817, member: 17182"] It's complicated as the light works back to front, the power is fed from the other side to the alternator/dynamo (from the ignition). With the ignition on the dynamo gives a negative feed to the light (hence it's illuminates) then when it starts spinning it gives out a positive feed which then turns off the light. You won't really see the cables under the van as it's all sheaved and the majority is in the chassis section, really though there's no point doing a visual inspection all you have to do is a continuity test with a basic multi meter to make sure the cable is ok. When you do this, do it with the cable disconnected at both ends just in case the fault is feeding from elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
