ok i took my dash out last night and after putting it back in I discovered I no longer have
any sidelights. Checked the fuse box and I am getting no power to the lowest connection
on the box. I have checked the wire direct (it is red) and there is no power.

I tried to trace the wire but lost it in the loom. Any ideas? Im supposed to drive 100 miles
today, dont fancy it with no tail lights ;D

ok I realised that the red wire must gp to the light switch so I checked that and all is the same. red wire dead, brown wire (dipped) is fine.

from advice Ive discovered the red wire goes from the light switch to the fuse box, turns out this wire is fubar, so rigged up another wire on a temporary basis to keep me legal ;D
