Rear lights and dash lights not coming on!

Post by Bryno » Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:29 pm

Hello!

My rear lights and dash lights are not coming on, I have replaced the fuse(8) under the hood as suggested but they are still not working. please help?

Thank you for all you feedback from my previous emails.

Cheers, Bryn

As mentioned previously on one of the other threads it could be the relay which should be on the nearside (passenger)wing under the bonnet along with the headlight relay under a black rubber boot. It'll be behind the second battery or leisure battery if you've got either fitted, you'll have to remove the battery to get to it. they are interchangeable so you can swap to see if that's the issue.

It's not the leg end that's the issue, it's the middle bendy bits that hurt :( :wink:

I though it was only men that had those bits? :-#

Thanks, I do my best. :lol:

As for the relay, make sure it was'nt due to water ingress, possibly due to a blocked drain hole below the windscreen.
