Hatch lights not working

For all who have the same problems. If your rear lights work but the tailgate lights do not check the tailgate sensor or sensor connection. The lights on the tailgate (hatch) are supposed to work when it is closed. If the sensor is not functioning, the car will not know that the hatch is closed that is why only the rear light on the rear bumper work. I had the same problem and turned out that I forgot to connect back the tailgate sensor.

Thank you mhpautos! We found the problem and were able to fix it.

Hello, how did you fix it? please I have same problem. My q7 2008 brake lights do not work, all others yes but those do not! :( All fuses new and bulbs new but nothing.

Check that the brake light switch located at the top of the brake pedal under the dash is working, start here.

Thanks it is great to get feedback on problems that have been solved this helps everyone.

Hello everyone,

There is a brake light relay that will work with the tail lights as well. Below are some wiring diagrams that show the fuses involved to help get the problem fixed.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken
