nick_karkie Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi all, all four of my tail lights and my fog light switch under my steering wheel are all not workin, is this due to a blown fuse, if so, how do I get to the fuse box by the passenger footwell in order to change the fuse, had a quick go at getting it in the dark but couldnt figure it out, me being ignorant and all. cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Sounds most likely to be a fuse. To get to the fuse box, get on your knees, turn around and limbo under the dashboard, until your head touches the throttle pedal, then look left, twist your body until you can get your arms in a position to remove the cover and hunt the dead fuse... You may want a small torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I suggest using a volt meter. ( on the buzzer setting, which picks up any voltage passing through) you check that there is power getting to the light unit, it best to test off the light connector at the back of the rear lights, i dont know which wires relate to the tail lights. So hopefully someone else can help or just work ur way through each wire hopeing for a buzz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 have you had the TRL mod done to your lights to give 4 brake lights? Could be the relays have gone.. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
