Sorted it now, turned out to be the metal end on the fuse was really loose and just fell off when I took it out...

Hi everyone,

 

I have recently lost indicators, hazards, rear heated screen, side lights, brake lights and reverse lights...

 

I don't know whether it was coincidence or not, but all of the above just instantly stopped working after I put my car in reverse the other day... My ignition light and oil pressure light flickered on then off and ever since that I have lost all these things....

 

I didn't know if the reverse wires might have shorted out or something? But surely that would blow a fuse? No fuses have blown, I replaced them anyway (after checking) and they still haven't blown...

 

Anyone got any suggestions to what I could try next??

 

P.S. It might be worth noting that I have recently replaced the dim dip relay (pink one), my hazard flasher unit and the indicator flasher unit. They all worked fine until this happened...

 

Many thanks,

 

Iain

Have you got a wiring diagram, look for a common point. Most of that is ignition dependent stuff. The hazards and sidelights aren't but they are linked to the indicator & dim/dip circuits which are.
