Once I had to replace a globe in the indicator. Many hours later I found that the replacement globe was not working either!

Amazing what faults can-bus can throw up! Try a hard reset by disconnecting the battery and putting the car positive and negative terminals together. Nothing to lose but for 5 minutes of your time.

That's the reset? Unplugging both terminal cables and holding said cables together? |

It is. Best you can do yourself. May be worth a try. Cannot do any harm.

I was thinking that this morning and googling up the reset procedure was top of my list this morning to look up. Thanks, guys! I'll give it a whirl in a few.

Should only need to reset the one shot windows and sunroof. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

I left the battery unplugged for about 10 minutes. Reattached the cables and found I needed to reset the stereo and the windows, but alas it didn't resolve the light issue. Damn. |

It was worth a try. Difficult to know what next to look at. You could try swapping the stop/tail lamp from the other (working) side to see if the fault remains or moves with the lamp. If it moves, problem solved! (it is remotely possible for there to be an internal short within the stop/tail lamp, the only item common to both circuits)

My old 2010 FL used to do a wobbly every now and then, you would start the engine and no instrumentation would be working at all, stop and restart and everything was fine again for another couple of months or so, then it would do it again.
