Loss of side, tail and dashboard lights

I wondered if anybody else had any experience of this. Went to go out in the Bongo the other evening and found I had no dashboard lights when I started up. Also noticed the tail lights and side lights were out. Had a rummage in the fuse box and fuses seem OK. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Wondering if its a relay?

Regards,

Patrick

Thanks Geoff. Do you know if this part is readily available in the UK?

There standard Mazda relays plenty available on ebay just stick in the number on the case, you can also check by swapping a couple around before buying to be sure that is the problem, it could of course be the stalk switch not operating the relay rather than the relay that's at fault.
You have checked the TAIL fuse under the bonnet haven't you ?

Yep, checked that one as well. Will work my way through it all again at the weekend when I can do it all in daylight. Can you confirm where the relay is exactly, I'm still trying to navigate my way round the Bongo. It's all black magic if you ask me.

Patrick
