Thanks to the Forum for helping me with my problem with the rear side lights and left tail light.

When I was testing for power on the socket of the left side light, I caused the Check engine light to come on and after checking it came up with a PO 328 code. That code said that the Knock sensor had a surge in power. The surge in power and the lights not coming on gave me the idea that it might be a fuse. I posted my problem and a member gave me the info needed to solve the problem.

Thanks, HalBrown

 

Good to hear you got it fixed. I've removed your duplicate thread about this.

Please can you show the resolution to this problem, I have exactly the same symptoms, n/s/r stop tail lamp not working and knock sensor showing fault, that can't be resolved. The sensor has been changed, no joy.
many thanks

Rob,
what year is your car? The rear light cluster changed from 2001 onwards, and has two taill lamps.

Where are you located?

 

Hi, thanks for your prompt response, my vehicle is an s type 3.0 and the year is 2003. I'm based in Kent. UK
Many thanks

Hi Rob,
You're in the wrong forum. Try re-posting here:

...which is the correct one for the S-type.

To get you started, here's what the DTC list says about the P0328 code:


If you've had the sensor replaced, then look at the connectors and wiring related to it. The connectors on the V8 are around the thermostat tower area: not certain if that's true for the V6.

Note that the sensor part #s appear to be VIN-dependent - could the wrong one have been fitted?

Check F57 (10A) in the Rear Power Distribution Box for the LH tail light; it powers side/stop//fog on that side. Not related to the knock sensor, though.

Hope this helps
