Alfie14 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 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. http://www.advanceautowire.com/tr24a.pdf With the side lights selected do the dash gauge lights come on - they should do.

Alfie14 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 A thanks for your input, l have check and there 3 red wires are connect together not in either blue/red or blue white. Help! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 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.

Alfie14 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 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. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
