No power to light switch

Post by benbee »

Hope someone can help. Headlights {dip and main}, Side lights and tail lights have all stopped working. Everything else is fine. Fuses are good and checked the earth. There appears to be power at the fuse but no power at the switch. Any ideas? Thanks :?

What age van ?
Does the parking light work if late van ?

I would say switch fault from your description.
Too many different fuses to be much else

It is a 1989 vintage. Have tried with a multi meter to find power at the light switch but cannot. all wires to switch are dead. Surely one should be live?

Success!!! Tried the parking light and that worked so had another good look and found a wire adrift from my previous speedo trouble! (out and in many times). Refitted and all works. Many thanks Mocki for your help. So quick to reply! This Forum is a Godsend to newbie owners like me. THANKYOU X
