4A Side lights


Recommended Posts

Just noticed that with the light switch in the first position my side lights do not come on (the rear lights do), the side lights only come on with the head lights (not sure how long it has been like this). The wiring looks correct to the diagram in the workshop manual. Suggestion please.

Hi Andy,

the side light and tail light power comes from the light switch via the fuse box.

If the rear lights are OK then you have miss connected the front sides into the headlight loom somewhere

Look to see if you have a red wire plugged into a Blue/red or blue/white connector.

With the side lights selected do the dash gauge lights come on - they should do.

Do you still use the original fuse box (two fuses)

One side does the sidelights (RED) the other side does gauges etc (GREEN).

 

Turn the sidelight switch on - have you got 12V at the RED fuse (both sides of the fuse).? There should be

 

Have you got an Ohmmeter or continuity tester - connect the red fuse wires tot he sidelight wires near the sidelights - it should be a dead short.

Hi Roger

It pays to check the obvious, l replace the light switch sometime ago, it look like the switch is faulty, with a bit of wiggling the sidelights will flash, need to check the connections. These pattern switches are not up to much.
