Hi, I got an Audi Q7 2016. The rear taillights on the boot lid do not work. However the ones in the rear bumper do. I have attached a picture below for clarity. The red circled lights do not work. The green circled lights work.
I have removed the lights and tested in another car and they work. I have checked the wiring and power is reaching the lights. I get no error messages on the car telling me the lights do not work. the rear tail lights work when i lock the car and the indicator lights work to show the car is locked. on no other occasions do the lights work. I have scanned the car and I get no errors with VCDS or ODIS. VCDS scan below
With VCDS the Central Conv. module cannot be reached. However with ODIS the Central Conv. module can be read and comes back no errors. Any ideas as to why the rear tailights might not be working? My mechanic thinks the car may be in tow mode. However he has no clue how to disable and there is no tow bar on the rear of the car as well. Any help much appreciated.

With VCDS the Central Conv. module cannot be reached. However with ODIS the Central Conv. module can be read and comes back no errors. Any ideas as to why the rear tailights might not be working? My mechanic thinks the car may be in tow mode. However he has no clue how to disable and there is no tow bar on the rear of the car as well. Any help much appreciated.
