D2 dash and side light problem

BrokenDiscovery said:

Hi all,
Iv got a problem with my d2 and I just can’t seem to sort it.
It started as side lights, rear lights and instrument lights intermittently not working now they have failed completely. Headlights and fog lights work fine.
I have changed the light stalk, checked the bulbs and fuses but still nothing ?
I don’t seem to have power to the side light fuses.
Has anyone got and ideas on what to check next as I’m totally lost on what to do next.
Thanks
Jim

have you checked link 13 engine compartment fuse box for power to lighting switch pin 3 a brown /green cable and then power out of switch pin 4 red which then goes to the two fuses feeding the side lights

so you have 12 volts on C0583 pin 6 on the passenger fuse box assuming with the plug still connected and no voltage on either sides of the two fuses 11 and 33 ,you say you have cleaned the connections
is the fuse board PCB accessible assuming it has one to check for damage or dry joints pict's would be nice

would be interested in pict's of internals but not at the expense of damaging the board also have you tried putting 12v on connection pin to confirm it's the board

Ok so looking at your very helpful diagram I may not have the correct plug, I will pull the box out again this afternoon

Mystery I can’t thank you enough, after looking at your wiring diagram the problem is not with the passenger fuse box but the engine bay one. The wires are green and corroded in the bottom of the plug. Missed it the first time but after a wiggle the main power wire came out completely and the green and brown light wire followed suit !

to solder them you would have to remove the pin to attach why not get a set of correct open barrel pins and if you have not a set of crimpers not expensive these days and replace all the pins on that plug so as not to revisit it later on
