Got an R300 Superlight 2002. Some of the dashboard switches are not illuminated at night when I have the headlights switched on.

The only one's affected are those to the left (passenger side). Specifically the heater fan, heated windscreen, rear fog, hazards & brake fail switches. All of the other gauges and switches are illuminated.

Could it be a fuse or bad earth?

Any ideas what to look at would be most appreciated.

Many thanks,

CycleSi

Sounds about right. Not all the switches are illuminated, the idea being they are not necessary at night. I think the heated windscreeen lights when in use similar to the hazard switch and possibly the fog light. The heater fan is not lit at all

OK - I'm a bit surprised they're not all lit.

Guess I could speak to Caterham Technical to confirm.

Many thanks - it's much appreciated.
