Help! Lost all electrics to back of landy

Hi all, I have lost all power to all my rear lights including the rear internal light. Has anbody got an idea of what might be causing this or a good idea about where to start looking?

sounds like a bad earth. Try connecting a jump lead from a rear door striker to somewhere cleanish on the chassis and see if that confirms it.

I lost all the rear lights on my 300tdi 110. I ended up running an earth from the rear crossmember to rear the fog light IIRC.

Now thats a fix I will remember mate. Tried the earth trick mate, no dice. So pulled hair out and kept seeing large pound signs. So I crawled around under and dug around her and found two multi way sockets had come loose and seperated. They are located driver side low down between the rear of the engine and the bulkhead. Clicked em back together and sorted. Now for a cup o tea and a Jaffa cake .

Thanks so much for your quick reply mate it got me going in the right directionraise:

No probs. glad you got to the bottom of it.
