Dashboard and rear lights not working

[barnettjames]

Hi all,

I have a problem, ive been on holiday for 2 weeks, got back and now for some reason my dashboard lights do not illuminate nor do my rear sidelights...Ive heard fuses could be the problem but doesnt seem to have sorted it unless im trying the wrong fuse?

I also got told to disconnect the battery, then unplug the fusebox, leave it for a few minutes connect back up and try again. I did this but again nothing... Im not puzzled!! Any ideas?

Thanks

Checked all fuses?

Look in your fuse box at the passenger side, it should be a 15 amp one (blue colour). Take each one out and check each carefully. Broken fuse is normally the most common cause for your problem.

Thanks for the reply, I have checked all fuses but was looking for a 10 amp red fuse so will double check, thank you!

Check the relays under the dash on the pasenger side, one may have came loose.

Used to happen a lot on my mates 182

Im being very dense and blonde, by relays you mean the plugs into the fusebox?

No its basically under the glovebox where the relays are kept.

As said its more then likely the fuse. Mine did the same but I cant remember which one.

Cheers for all the feedback people, just to let everyone know or anyone who has this problem in the future, it was the relays...apparently they had been messed around with before so were a faulty...all sorted now though

thought as much, glad thats it sorted for you mate

Bit of a bump, but getting off the ferry after my Le Mans trip in the Clio. I found I had the same situation, no lights on the dash or rear sidelights, so I drove home with full fogs on down the A3.

Found this thread this morning and low and behold a loose relay.

Cliosport.net wins again.

Really common, Passengers with big feet knock them out.

just sit still dam it!

I have lights on dash but they fade really badly so it kust about lit but may not as well bother as its that dime. Could that be a relay or a bulb behind the dials

My dashboard panel, nearside tail light and number plate lights were out. I found this diagram that shows the fuse as the 3rd row down, far right. Found it weird how the offside tail light still worked but I guess it makes sense to have them on different circuits so you still have one light working should the fuse blow
