I have looked at the wiring diagrams and as far as I can see the dash and doors are on two totally separate wiring looms. Which is odd that the lights are not working on both?

But I can just about wire up a plug nevermind work out electric plans.

Yes same circuit when all joined together.

My eyes have fallen out trying to trace each connection from dash bulbs to squiggly bits on the diagrams hehe

Ok all fuses fine,no damp anywhere its got to be the headlight switch aint it.all the other electrics work fine(I say that in a figure of speech).There appears to be a ribbon cable that comes off the switch do these play up?when the rain stops will jump power to the illumination cable and see what happens wink

Nice and sunny outside so I'm off to cut the lawn.... I always thought there was one ribbon until I started investigating and they are all over the place. The LED on the door is on the window loom as far as I can work out if that helps.

Just say no and I will get back to my books hehe

On the mending bright side (no pun) I changed the glass on the snake tank which I smashed last night when Trevor my python fancied me for tea. And yes he's Trevor after TreVoR.

Just gone round spraying weed killer all over the place funny enough hehe

I have lights down the drive which a visitor thought it funny to reverse into on their way out.

Hope your having better joy with your lights.

If everything is working but the bulbs in the dash and door ( open button ) then because they are two joined looms then there must be a simple break or earth failure which connects them both. Are both LEDs in the doors not working and are there any other lights not working.
