Title: Had to happen - old girl lets me down
Post by: JC on 23 December 2007, 17:43

Just been out to fill the car up with Fuel and i lose ALL dash lights. everything has gone.

Done the search on here,

Dimmer switch checked

Fuse checked

Light switch changed ( proven unit ) and dimmer switch checked

Complete set of clocks changed

Fuse checked again

Bulbs checked ok

So everyone, before i conceed defeat and take a CORSA  :shocked: away for Chrimbo, can anyone offer  advise.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like lots of circuits have failed, I would check earth connetions, fuse box and battery.

SAY NO TO CORSA'S even if it's only for christmas!

good luck

dunt know it is is dubslugs statement but having checked all the lights on the car the number plate lights were out
