Does anyone know the location of the bullet connectors in the attachment?

On cars of this age, rear lamps are typically fed by a single wire from the stop lamp switch fed into the boot and then split to the left and right hand lamps. Consequently, checking out the boot wiring would be a good place to start your investigation. Mike.

Thanks Mike, the manual does show that the loom goes down the RHS of the car

I have looked behind RH boot panel and only found the splitter bullet connector. I will have a look behind the RH footwell panel and maybe under the RH treadplate for the remaining bullet connector. That means getting the car out of the garage! a job for tomorrow.

I found the remaining bullet connector around the A-pillar / dashboard. I had hoped to just replace the bullet connector but the wire to the brake switch was the problem.
