turbodreams Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 hey folks,i noticed on the way home people were flashing me to turn my lights on. Front ones were, back ones werent. Also, all the lights inside the car (dials, heating) dont work, internal light on roof does, fuel light, doors open light etc. The brake lights work, but the lights dont work despite me putting them on, the bulbs are fine as ive checked them in the hazard lights connection as the work. Help, because i cant drive at night Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Fuses, there Are some under the steering toward the bottom left and some under the bonnet. Go and check your fuses if you haven't done so.Edit - damn you sparky beat me to it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 There must be a short somewere, take it you have a boost gauge or something wired in so check all aftermarket wiring, my mates was the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tha Dragon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Check if you have wrong light bulbs installed in the back.Check if the 2 contact light or fitted where they need to be and the single contact lights fitted where they need to be.Had the same problem but mine, when i step on the brakes i have a whole light show in my dash and on my spotlights and when i checked it was a faulty lightbulb that was installed incorrectly in my backlights.Let me know if this helped.Tha Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 had same prob with my crx and was nightmare turned out it was the wire for the rear fog light which had shorted.just buy a load of fuses and work your way around every light on the car checking wires/bulbs/connections Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackStar Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 No worries people, all sorted, found the boost gauge had been wired in with no tape around the conections + sparky = no more fuse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
