Problems with lights, need an electrician!
Problem started with a faulty indicator. Wasn't the bulb, so improved the earth. Was fine for a about a week then it went again.
So I cut out the connector and made good all the wires.
Then a fuse blew.
I replaced the fuse (15amp), now when I turn the ignition on the following occures:
stop, fog and liecence plate lights come on permanently. The Fog dash light won't switch off.
The front and rear side turn lights and front turn lights come on permanently. Although front ones are dim, but work correctly when the turn lights are operated.
My alarm/imobiliser dash light is permanently lit.
To check I hadn't wired to indicator wrong I undid every thing I had done but all the lights still come on.
I've checked all the fuses I can find and they're all ok.
I hate electrics, please tell me it's something really dumb and I won't have to take off the rear pannel
Many thanks
