No side lights

Post by wattg » Thu Mar 13, 2014 9:51 pm

Hi guys

Just noticed I have no sidelights in either side. Turning the lights to side lights turns on the dashboard lights but that's all. Can't find if there is fuse specific to side lights. Anybody got any ideas what to start looking at next?

My tail lights and facia lights are all working fine so I don't think it is the stalk switch and surely none of them would work if the relay was playing up?

All the Tail, Number and Side lights are from the same fuse, I would suspect the earth connections on the front side lights.

Right, so it just the front sidelights affected. Start by checking / changing the bulbs. You'll need to unscrew the unit containing the indicator.
