gjp Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Or you have blown the dimmer dial thing. Try driving with your lights on and touch the dimmer dial, if its hot its fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamil Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 cheers guys, will the fuse for the dash be in the fusebox in the engine bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike25tt Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 It will most probably be the 10A fuse thats blown. The fuse box is in the drivers footwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah. Definitely the fuse box in the drivers footwell, but as mentioned above, the dimmer switches seem to be going fairly often as well. There should be plenty on bypassing the dimmer to check on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamil Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 i have checked the fuses in the footwell and they are all fine. the dimmer think doesnt get hot when the lights are on. any other ideas what it could be Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Or you can try a known working dimmer in its place to confirm it is the dimmer that is causing the fault before removing it, but to remove the dimmer - remove the panel it sits in, pull the knob off, and it undo the nut, oh, and unplug it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
