side lights stopped working.please help

Post by BADMX3 »

ok so as in the title my side lights have stopped working> so i checked all the fuses and i checked for loose wiring the weird thing is that on side lights my glow gauges don't work. However my main beam does work! and when on main beam so do the gauges and the side lights????
so i'm thinkin electrical fault ... then they came back on??? and now they've gone off doing the exact same thing again...

I'm now lost has anyone had this before??? or can peeps make suggestions.

a very similar thing has happened with my subs one day no power to the amp next day power and then they went off again. nothing has been changed on my car in the last 3 months and i never had no problems before..

Just by looking at the diagram, the fuses in the circuits are:

Under hood: Main (80A) and BTN (40A)
By your left foot: Tail (15A)

One thing with my car is that the ATO fuses (one ones by our left foot kick panel) is lose and I had to wedge it in with a piece of electric tape (make sure you use non-conductive tape!)

The relay for the circuit is under the steering column-ish beside the clutch pedal or where it would be if you're driving an auto. There's a row of 5 relays and the TNS relay is the rearmost one (closest to the driver).

That should start you off, poke around and tell us how thigns go.
