no lights on the nearside!?? Help please :)

Post by smudge »

Morning all

My westy has overnight decided not to have any lights working on the nearside :roll:

That's the headlights and the complete rear nearside light cluster. Typically I need to be using it tonight to ferry the kids about, so I need to fix it today if I can!

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks :wink:

Start with the earth crowns - take them off and clean them. It's the most common cause of electrical grief

Thanks for the advice!

Lots of emery paper cleaning later we seem to back in business....changed some fuses and cleaned the contacts in the light cluster as well, so hopefully that should do it.

thanks again.... :ok
