Hello chaps,
My rear side lights and brake lights dont work, the high level light does though.
there is no power up the loom for the brake or side lights when checking behide the rear seat.
There is a live for the tow bar side lights though the brake light in that loom is not working.
Any idea's chaps?
All fuses and bulbs are fine
-
Are all rear lights out?
Whats the fuel gauge doing?
Is the earth point in the boot ok (on a saloon its behind the plastic trim that covers the rear slam panel
-
Fuel gauge is fine
Rear fogs and indicators work.
I've checked the loom running down the N/S of the car - there is power for the side lights in towing bar loom wires but on the grey/red and grey/black for the side lights.
The front lights work fine,
The high level light is fine as well
Doing my head in now :(
I know I can "repair" by using the feed for the high level light and the side lights to the tow bar but I would rarther fix the problem it's self
-
Lost head lights as well...
Could it be the blub check unit that has died?
On the Supra's when the blub check unit goes on them you lose all the lights it checks..
-
Any one any idea's before I rewire the from the fuse box back to the lights?
-
What does not make sense is that the high elvel light still works!
Which head lights have you lost, side, dipped or full (or all!)
So, rear brake lights are out
Rear tail lights
Rear fogs are ok.
Number plate lights?
Reversing lights?

Its behind the glove box....and this is the first one I have ever heard of causing trouble!
You could ask JueV6 to bring you the one fromthe MV6 he is breaking!

ahhh
when my heater matrix blew - it gushed water up the back of the glove box... but this was about 3 months ago.
Right - how do I get the glove box out - taken 2 screaws out from the front outer edge but its still solid

Really peeved off now

-
Aye its out - Cant find any thing amiss though - so by passing it so I can use the car...

FIXED !!!
The RAC had tie wrapped the tracker to the loom running to the check box - it had pulled a pin from the multi plug - all working fine now :)
Time for another call to the RAC :(
-
Gotta say I've been waiting to the RAC's efforts to destroy your car to get involved!
Least youve fixed it. :y

I just can not beleave how bad a bodge the tracker fitting was - on a closer look I think he tried tapping in to the loom for a power supply there, after checking it over some more I've found I can't fit the carin sat nav now as easy as though as he's used that loom for the tracker...
really temped to rip it all out....
