Hi all, Last night I was driving and I noticed my dash lights were out (they had been working earlier that night) So I drove home using a torch to check my speed. When I got home my tail lights were also out. I've checked all my fuses and they are still fine. Any suggestions of where I can start looking for the cause of the problem and what it could be? As i do most of my driving at night I'm pretty stuffed at the moment. Thanks

Check for a dodgy earth... whenever my dash lights give trouble that turns out to be the problem!

Try your taillight relay in the engine bay located near the ingnition coil. That may need replacing or the connection may be loose.

Cool, still haven't had a look. My brother kindly leant my manual to his friend and my 2 electricians (Dad and b/f) weren't avaliable last night. So my car is still a daylight hours only vehicle!
