I have a 1999 Defender 90 Td5 and everything was fine until last night. Drove home 60 miles yesterday, parked up and all was good, switched the lights off and locked the car up. Went back out an hour later to go to the shops and the lights would not work.
No headlights or sidelights, tail lights, number plate lights, dash lighting or any other form of lights that would normally come on with the sidelights and dipped beam. I have fully functioning indicators / hazards and brake lights
Checked so far
1. All fuses - GOOD
2. S100 light switch - GOOD
3. Bulbs - not pulled them all yet but suffice to say i don't think they would all pop at the same time....
4. Swapped heated rear screen relay with headlight relay, heated screen works still works (assume relay ok)
5. Disconnected the S100 light switch and checked voltage on connector - 12V present
6. Linked 12V to Blue & Red- voltage getting pulled down to 0v when linked to either.
7. (pointless test) - Pink Relay behind binacle - linked out 2 & 8. No power on 2 so made no difference...(i believe that this is a recommended check if you have a semi functioning lighting system to rule in/out the pink relay)
What am i missing? This seems way too complex an issue for all lights to suddenly stop working.
The key area that is not helping is that the 1999 Td5 wiring diagrams that i find online do not reflect my fuse box layout (fuse numbering) and the fuse box sticker also does not match the actual fuse functions either. For example, what i assume is Fuse 8 (top row 3rd from right) kills my indicators whereas i expected that to be 19 & 20 based on the fuse cover sticker.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
