Post by adam5172 on Jun 4^th, 2008, 9:38pm

Have you had the large connector off from the main (Drivers side) fusebox?. If so you haven't got it back on correctly. The next place to check is the connector for the lighting switch which sits behind the switch to see if there is any sign of 'burning' to one of the pins. I take it you have checked fuses 4,5,10 and 11 and the relays 3 and 6. My bet is the large connector not located correctly. ;)
