Check left reversing light?

[steroidchris]

Hi been a while since I've been on here. Just got a 2019 Cupra lease car.
Just been out and noticed a warning message saying check left reversing light. Checked it and its working?? What else am I supposed to check about it? Any body had anything similar?
Thanks.

Has it been replaced with an LED? If so then it might not be canbus compatible, either go back to a traditional lamp or fit a better LED.

It's standard as far as I know, came straight from the dealer, brand new?

I have seen random bulb warnings appear, the bulb may be near its end of life and triggering the system, for the cost I’d just fit a new one to see if that cures the problem?

It was ok yesterday, maybe the lamp is on its way out and throwing up random warnings?

Have you taken it out and cleaned the contacts? I've had one with a poor connection that flagged up an `error`, even though it still worked.

I haven't but isn't it an led unit rather than a lamp?

Nope - SEAT cheaped out and fitted a glow worm-like filament bulb despite describing the lighting as being "full LED"

I once left my old (VW not SEAT) car out in very heavy rain for nearly a week. The next time I drove it I got bulb warnings despite the bulbs all working as normal. The problem was some water ingress in to the connections between the tail light cluster and the power cables. They went away after the car had dried out a bit.

I doubt that would be the same issue with this since the tail light cluster is different. I've not had it off on my 2020 Cupra, but my 2014 Leon, the tail light cluster never quite fit right so may be prone to a little water ingress.

Ah right, ok. I'll have to have a look then. ?

Pre-FL had bayonet fitting and post-FL have this:

It might be LED but it still plugs into a connector.

I kept getting random warnings but everytime i got out of the car to check it was ok, then the last time it happened my sister was with me so i stayed in the car while she checked it, the bulb (an LED one that I had fitted) was flickering like mad.

Thanks chaps. It's been alright since, I'll wait until it does it again before I have a look.
