Hi,

I have a 1985 mayfair and i have no lights at the rear.

My hazards work and the rear number plate light, but other than thats its all dark.

I dont think my dashboard lights are working either. Is this likely to be a fuse problem?

I believe it could be fuse 7/8?

What rating is this fuse? 35amp?

This happened to me - turns out the fusebox was rotten. Swapped it out and that sorted it.

I'd check to see if the fusebox terminals and connectors are corroded and tidy up/replace as necessary. Also don't assume that the wiring and fuse ratings are still the same as in the wiring diagram - mine weren't...!

Haha cheers for your advise.
I not quite sure what happened. But I believe the rear left light surged and blew. Wiping out the fuse and the dashboard lights.
That same night the right hand light managed to pop out of socket.
It was all a bit crazy lol
