Title: no front lights (and its getting dark :>)
Post by edds on Feb 10^th, 2006, 5:15pm

i have a 2.5 td 95 ultima. i have no front lights apart from indecators.
when i switch the side lights on the rear and number plate lights work fine along with the dash lights but no front ones. i`ve checked bulbs and fuses all ok. another thing i dont have is main flash the blue dash ligh come on when i flash but no front lights. as i`ve checked the fuses and blubs is there something else i could check as i onlt brought the car this morning and they did not say anything about having no lights. :-X

Thanks in advance

UPDATE

i removed the central fusebox and removed and cleaned each layer. there was not a lot of corosion but there was water traped between the plastic layers. i re asembled the fuse box and refitted it an now everything is fine.

Thanks for all the advoice. :)

Good luck

Other posters have pinpointed the light multi-switch itself as a possible culprit for lights failure, it tends to melt a bit ???
