After measuring all of it, it turned out that the lower rear light unit was broken. There was a small piece missing on the circuit, causing the fog light not to get any power.

Very strange as it always used to work, so i guess it burned through at some point.

If i recall correctly the bridge in the attached pic was missing.

Bought a 2nd hand unit off eBay for 50euros or so from a same age V70 to prevent any color difference. Works fine now...
It's had a new light as someone drove into it, i'll have a look in a bit. Plus check the relays too. Thanks

If you remove the side trim panel there's more of the REM behind it. The fixing bolt for the trim panel is behind a cover in the little recess where the end of the luggage cover clips into place. I'm assuming you have a V70?

Just to add,my mate had an '02 plate s60 t5.....constant bulb warnings !!!!!!
We looked at the bulbs and some had silvered......changed them for new ones and the warnings all disappeared
Perhaps the age of bulbs affects the system ???
