No tail or dashboard lights

Hi all,
Neither of the above are working. I've tested all the fuses, swapped fuses 2 & 14 & relays 18 & 21 following earlier advice.
Any ideas please.
Thanks.
Lee.

Do you have sidelights ? it could be a faulty light switch,they suffer from burnt pins.

Also check the wiring loom as it passes into the boot on the offside. The boot hinge can catch it if it is not secured and fracture the wires. IF you see any signs of damage to the protective covering you may have to remove some of it to actually see the wiring. The other point,apart from the switch, is have you removed the large connector to the main, drivers side, fusebox?. If you have there's a 99% chance you haven't put it back correctly. They will go back one row of pins out and lighting faults are the first thing that is noticed.  There is an excellent post in How to do Things covering this aspect. Here
