So I'm on my way home from work tonight and I notice my dashlights were ever so slightly dimmer than normal and didn't think much of it. All through my journey home though I noticed one by one the dashlights were going out. I started to worry as I looked down to check my speedo and realized I couldn't see anything on my dash! All the lights were out! Is this a problem anyone's come across before? If so, what's wrong? The instruments work fine as always, just can't see them. I wouldn't normally mind but it's absolutely pitch black in my mini right now. Not looking forward to the journey into work in the morning!
Thanks
Paul
Would be useful if you stated what year mini. As wireing differs

My bad. 'H' reg, 91? Its not the standard dash though. Before i bought the car it had a 3 clock dash fitted. Originally it had a 2 clock dash.
Have you got rear lights and side lights on? If not check the connections on the fuse :)

I had this a while ago, fitted a new switch and all was well for a while. Later I had to take the new switch apart to clean out the waxy grease that was preventing it from working properly - all good now.

Just found out my rear lights ahs number plate lights assent working as well. Some guy got out his car and told me while sat at some lights on the way home. So thanks gazza, sounds like a fuse and/or dodgy connection. And thanks everyone else for suggestions! Sets me off on fixing the problem
if you have the 4 fuse block it should be the third one down to test this just swap over the bottom fuse and try it :)
