Mk2 Electrical Problems

[X4MGS]

Electrics now solved. Quite a strange one actually. Veh electrician came round and asked about history of what had been happening and history of electrical work completed. I gave him all the details and history of electrical work. I mentioned something that I had noticed over the past week, and that was that sometimes when I removed ignition key the stereo wouldn't switch off. I would either have to switch off manually or stick key in and withdraw again. Well it turns out that there is a micro switch in the ignition barrel that disengages power to stereo when you pull out keys. he showed that the microswitch was intermitantly sticking and that was probably the problem. He explained that it was so sensitive just touching the ignition barrel would switch stereo on and off and that it could be happening while I have car parked up and so draining the battery. He pulled out stereo and and wiring is now set so that I physically have to switch the stereo on and off. He also fitted a headlight buzzer so I don't leave lights on. Now a happy man. Just got the engine to decide on now.

ANYONE! need assistance! Ok basically...all bulbs are ok, headlights work...when i switch the lights on (1st click) i get the below;

NO LIGHTS anywhere...no rear...no dims on the front...no dash, dial and interior lights!

BUT when i switch the lights on full (2nd click) my headlights are working...only lights that do work!

I've changed the switch...wiring loom and checked the fuses...need to check the relay but im sure its not that...can anyone think of anything?

Thanks!
