dash and rear lights not working

Post by dublin26 » Wed Jan 06, 2010 9:19 am

Hi, l wonder if anyone can help!! the light on the dash board has gone out and also the rear lights are not working. The front lights are working but only on full. The radio is working. Could this be a fuse problem?

Plus I think they are both off the same relay, which has been known to go.

If its the Dashboard lights are out check the 15 Amp fuse second row down second in from left by the drivers knee, that covers the Dashboard in 1995-1999 models.
The Tail lights are covered by the fuse 8 in the engine Bay mentioned earlier.
Indicators are covered by a 10Amp third in from left, second row by the drivers knee.

In fact that explains why yer fuse went... (A short may have blown the fuse) & the chance is your tail lights don't work either...!

thanks to all
Jim
