Strange problem I've discovered today!
No dipped beam, side lights, dash back lights, stereo or clock!!
Any one else encountered this or similar? Is anyone in the know as to whether these items are from the same fuses?

Now I've not even had chance to investigate this as yet but should have time in the morning and was just after any up front advise.

I've had a bit of a scan through using the search function but nothing conclusive there that I could see.
Any help appreciated!

Sounds like a permenant live fuse has gone, as all of those work if the ignition is off. Not sure about the lights but my stereos and clock are on the same fuse.

Sorted it, it was just a 15A fuse blown. Seems to be powering quite a few things off just that one fuse to me though.

It doesn't power them, just the relays / switches that power up their circuits, so don't worry its the same in all cars wink

Sorry mis worded it really as I realise that it doesn't 'power' them!
What sort of current would all these things be drawing if they were all on at the same time then?

<30W at a guess, just sidelights + CDL of any account?, bit more when ignition switch on as that is powered from same fuse IIRC.
