Hi guys putting my car back together and tried the lights tonight but having some problems.

 

The headlights hi/lo, brake lights, hazards and reverse lights work fine

 

The tail lights, number plate lights, directional indicators all round and front sidelights don't work?

 

I've read about the tail light module which i was looking into bypassing to see if that sorted things, but would that affect the front sidelights and indicators? and would it not cut out brake lights?

 

Any help would be massively appreciated as im not the best with electronics.

Check your fuse first in the drivers footwell, top row third along, the rear light module is exactly that, just for the rear lights

I did as you said and the fuse was blow, replaced but no change, although got the indicators to work, hazard button is not letting the switch out fully.

 

Also i get no lights on the pods or speedo when i turn them on?

You say replaced and no change, make sure the fuse hasnt blown again, if it has then you have an issue somewhere.

 

Hazard switch is held in the pod with 2 screws and many over the years have cracked screw holders, either from over tightening or using the wrong screws, sothe housing of the pod actually hinders the switch movement.

 

There is a TCU which has part of the dash light circuit incorporated, to enable the dimmer for eg, its possible a track has burnt out on the board and if your fuse has blown again a likely culprit. The Time control unit is located behind the drivers kickpanel next to the fuel pump fuse near to the bottom of the door.

Okay took out the fyse and its completely intact, but just as a "whit if" replaced it with another and everything works perfectly! Thanks a bunch Groover, owe you a pint or 2.

Great news :thumbup:
