blown fuse?

[Jim]

well i just changed my sidelight bulbs, tried them and then nothing. changed them back to the old ones and nothing. so i assume i've blown a fuse. my headlights still work, but my rear lights don't and neither do my brake lights. all my indicators still work.

so is this likely to be a fuse? if so, which fuse do i change and where is it? also, what type of fuse is it? i've never had to change one before so i've got no idea.

please help!

check the connections are not corroded. Its likely that they are as its quite common.

connections look fine....

Just go to the fuse board on the wall above the accelerator, take off the cover and it shud say where the fuse is. U might hav to put in higher amp ones to handle the power of the new sidelights.

 

[Jim]

have changed the fuse, all lights back to working, except for the original sidelight. at least people know when i'm braking now!

 

[Jim]

just swapped the bulbs over and the other sidelight works, so is now just a case of getting a new bulb. Thanks Ed for your help on msn!
