RHD Right side Front light and right rear side light problem
Hi everyone, I’ve run into a strange issue 🙃
On my Defender, the right-hand side sidelight isn’t working unless the ignition is on (the left side works fine). When I turn the ignition on, the right sidelight—including the front one—comes on only when I press the brake.
Could this be a fuse issue, or does it sound like a wiring problem? (I haven’t done all the wiring myself.)

Sounds like an earthing problem

Check the earth for the rear harness, which is located on the offside of the transfer box. It sounds as though the brake light is earthing through the tail-light filament.
