Minor glitch this evening on way to Essex meet. The rear driving lights are not working but all others are, i.e. brake lights, reversing light, fog light, indicators, hazards ??????

Is this a fuse problem, relay problem or something else?

I've looked in the owners manual but it isn't clear what fuse controls the rear driving lights so any pointers as to what needs to be replaced would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance biggrin

Are the number plate lights out as well, if not its likely to be fuse if they are you just may be unlucky that the two side bulbs have blown at same time.

I have a dodgy sidelight switch on my Griff, sometimes it doesn't switch the sidelights on, sometimes it switches them off leaving no rear lights or number plate lights. The dashlights aren't affected and stay on so the only indication that the sidelights are off is the sidelight indicator light which isn't that obvious.

Right, got home a bit early and pulled all the gubbins out of the passenger footwell and carpet covers in the boot to see what the problem was. Switched on side lights to see if number plate lights were out as suggested and the whole lot come back on again banghead

Tomorrow I'm off the the local auto factor place to get two new Fiesta MK3 rear bulb holders and see if that helps.

TVR's have a mind of their own biggrin
