[mike951]

Can anyone help me, i give up, after i dont have tailgate driver side light and no any lights on dash board, climate control ok, speed cloks ok, no ashtray light no lights i switches. i check ready all fuses, can anyone help me please

[elnevio]

Check ALL the fuses! Even the ones that appear unrelated!


And that's the ones behind the driver's right knee cubby, as well as those under the bonnet.

If one has gone, it can have a weird effect on other areas of the electrics!

Yes check the fuses, this happened to me ALL interior lights went, radio, rear lights. I think 1 fuse went and somehow managed to blow bulbs! If a fuse has gone there are some spares in the fuse box in the engine bay as far as i can remember.

i check all fuses, bulbs and everything, i put short way cable from left to right side in tailgate light go on just no light in dashoboard,

I'll bet you don't have the licence plate light either...

Try this fuse

[mike951]

when i change this fuse then blow another from central locking , i touch some cable when i put my new radio and i lose central locking, where i can find the electric sheme to find a problem.



For more information my car have map2 and clifford allarm

Mike, just write in this thread if you need some wiring help, it's too expensive/difficult to discuss wiring over the phone between UK and Denmark

hey guys...not to hijack but I have a similar prob...my rear brake lights...innner and outer are not turning on when the lights are on...when foot is on the brake they light up...reverse lights work...any idea?

[GalantOnly]

my rear brake lights...innner and outer are not turning on when the lights are on...when foot is on the brake they light up...

Isn't it exactly what brake lights are supposed to do?

You mean tail light?
What side is it? Driver or passenger?

[gesta1t]

yeah...sorry...outer tail lights both sides...(in the same bulb as the brake light)

[GalantOnly]

If the front position lamps is still working, but tail lamps is not - you'll need a new bulbs
If the front position lamps is gone too - check the fuses in the engine compartment

[gesta1t]

do you mean the park lights?

[gesta1t]

because the tail lights on the boot hatch are lit when the lights are on...just the ones on the corner are not

[Nick Mann]

Sounds like bulbs to me.

Like Nick says, check the bulbs. Just before Christmas I found my brake lights weren't working, the ones in the light clusters, but my third taillight was fine. This was whilst the car was on a ramp having its tires changed. I secretly panicked. How do two bulbs blow at the same time? Once home I checked the bulbs and one brake light had blown leaving the other, unblown bulb, not to work.

Michal, hope this helps, you're just around the corner from me, I'm in Ealing! :-)
