I am guessing it is the fuse for the rear window lifters, as it is the fat red wire in the door coonector that feeds the rear window lifters and the kerb lights.

Do the rear windows still work?

There are no lights in the rear doors. These are just reflectors.

Agreed, unless you've retro fitted them.

That's explains that then! I only ever drive it on my own and happened to open the rear door last night to put something in!

Every day is a school day. :ugeek:

I have a full set of 4 Vectra-B lights to retro fit... shame they are white. :scratch

I just assumed that the Cavalier would have 4 lights too.

Although the front ones mount in the door pockets.
Of course there are no pockets in the rear doors. lol

Retro fitting kerb lights into the rear doors is simple too.. If I can get my pictures back into the thread, I think I described the process in my dippy project..
