tedsmart Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi All, Whats the saying "theres no pleasure without pain" how true! After a good day out off roading on Bribie Island, I turn the lights on to find that the instrument panel lights aren't working, upon further investigation I find that the side lights on the right hand side aren't working either, the tracks were very rough so presuming that something had been dislodged I inspected the fuses and the fuse for that circuit had blown, I thought great and replaced it only for the new one to blow straight away, looks like a short, has anyone any experience of this sort of problem and how to go about fixing it? any help would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Follow the wire from the fuse to the lights and look for a bit with damage to the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presumed it was a straight short, But does anyone now of any likely spots to start looking, is there a usual area that causes this or could it be anywhere?

western Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 check the bulb & all connections behind the suspect lights, may need to remove the trim panel & headlights to get to the wiring check the earth point is secure to in the same area.
