tried that earlier, was told that pin 58d was the dimmer control circuit put a 12v feed to that and the bridge wire started to get warm so disconnected it before any damage was done

I was thinking more along the lines of connecting directly to a bulb, so that you could eliminate any control circuitry in the test and to make sure that the circuit itself was free from shorts and illuminated.

At least that way you could track backwards to see at which point you are losing the supply voltage

If my theory is right, that may do more damage than it cures :(

One last little test. Do the rear fog lights work (engine running, lights on, rear fogs on)

yes, they work as do the fronts :y
Right, excellent.

Do you have a reasonable multimeter?

This is the loom side of plug (I think, the switch itself has the male connectors on?)



With meter on 200ohms setting, what do you get between pins 9 and 12 on loom side connector?

sadly, what i expected.

Right, remove ashtray, remove radio (inc any adapters in use to get it to fit Omega loom), disconnect snow switch and gearbox selction panel.

Then remeasure
