No lights in Plymouth

Hey All,

We are stuck in Plymouth in the 90 (supposed to be taking the ferry in half an hour to Spain) we have lost main lights, side lights, brake lights and reverse lights.

Any ideas anyone?! My first thought was light switch but could this affect the brake and reverse lights as well? Indicators are fine, can flash my full beams as well.

Cheers for any help, we won't make the ferry today but there is one from Poole tomorrow morning so the holiday might be salvageable :/

Cheers

Hi Cartoonhead,

Bad news on the lights front, what motor is it? 200/ 300tdi/Td5?

Good luck and I hope you make your next ferry.

Cheers

pm Blue Beasty & me a contact number and your exact location.

Where are you stuck?

sounds like a main fuse.

Be as specific as you can and we'll try and help diagnose.

Are you really travelling to Spain without roadside recovery?

Fuses , dirty contacts. Had this on mine previously

its a 300tdi 90

300tdi 90, we are on the B3240 in Plymouth town centre, Princess Street junction. Fuses all look fine but maybe fuse board has melted or something, not sure how to tell

Called AA, no one in the area so hey won't be here until 10pm.

Thanks very much for all the replies lads, was initially hoping it was a light switch issue and someone might be able to point me to a temporary fix that I could bodge, think I'll have to wait for AA now and get them to tow me to a hotel, then get a garage to look tomorrow.

I can bring some tools and torch if you like, only about 15 mins away.You are about 1/4 mile from ferry port!

Have you checked the under bonnet fuses?

It turns out there are more fuses under the bonnet that I didn't know about

Lesson learned!

We will be getting a ferry later tonight, holiday not ruined

Nice one, glad you got sorted at the ferry port, saved that drive back up to Poole.
