1996 Front side lights

Post by zippy » Sat Aug 02, 2014 6:10 pm

I have fogs and the front bars on my Bongo, but the front sidelights don't come on, only the rear.

There no aircon mainbeam or fogs relay.

If the relay broken, would all lights work or none at all?

Assume you've checked the bulbs? You should hear a click from the respective relays when you put side / dipped / main beam on.

Interesting bit of mains cable used on the leisure battery :? May be a sign that the electrics have been monkied around with in the past.
