You checked if there is power going to the lights?

Any electrical mods?

No modifications at all to the electrics. when i first had problems with the o/s tail/side lights I did take the car to a garage i have used before (decent guy) He got the lights back on by running some sort of tester and lead from front to back. a week later a family friend did a diagnostic test on the car for my own curiousity more than anything, to see if there were any other probiems. bad mistake on my part. the light fault came back and got worse hence both sides what do you sugest lee

Do you have a multimeter to test the wiring?

So does all the lights work except the sidelights?

Wiring diagram attached

Afraid not (no multimeter) forgot to mention earlier number plate lights out as well. all other lights on the car are A1 OK. Have a HAYNES MANUAL and already checked their wiring diagrams.. will look at yours as well much appreciated. would your diagnostics equipment be my next port of call or would a test with a multimeter be appropiate first.

You could test it via a multimeter if you have one.

Does the side lights on the front work?

I could come and try and diagnose it, and if it is a wiring fault, potentially rewire it for you.

Hi LEE
Don't have a multimeter, n/s side light/tail light working but not turning off, (on constantly ) bypassing stalk switch, also when key out of ignition.

o/s side light /tail/number plate lights not working at all.

It'll be great if you could solve the problem for me. where is sheffield 25 (what area of sheffield is that.) only been a lgv driver for 35 years '

could meet you half way, or something. when are you available, MOT run out last week oooooops
my mobile number is 07954413790

Does the front side lights work?? If they do, you could just rewire the rear lights by piggy backing the front.

i think he means the lights on the outer edge on the front lights, not the headlights. When you put the side lights on, you should get a little light in each front light coming on.

Front sidelights not headlights

 


Need to find out if the whole side light circuit is faulty or just the rear

Thanks for that LEE.
Not my thing electrics, only know the basics fuses, bad earths etc
I will go and get car tested with a multmeter and let you know

You know when you do a reboot of the bsi, and you let the bsi go into safe mode
is it the the same safe mode that comes on that protects the battery from going flat
And when it says to turn off all apliances. with the problem i've got lights on all the time do i take the bulbs out when doing reboot
