SCIROCCO MK 2 LIGHTS NOT WORKING AT ALL

[itsadog]

I HAVE A MK2 SCIROCCO C REG IT'S IN A BIT OF A STATE BUT ONE THING IS PUZZLING ME ALL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL HEAD LIGHTS , INDICATORS , SIDE LIGHTS , REAR FOG LIGHTS BUT BIZARRELY THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT WORK ARE THE FRONT FOG LIGHTS.

IS THERE ANYONE WILLING TWO POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO I CAN RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM

ANYONE'S THOUGHTS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

[Nate]

don't shout!

anything else electrical playing up? wipers, fan, dash etc? have you looked for signs of water ingress into the fusebox? checked plugs in back of fusebox are secure and fuses ok?

do you know how / when the problem started, or did you buy it with this problem?

I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH PROBLEM IF THIS COULD BE WATER WHERE WILL IT BE COMING INTO THE CAR I HAVE REPLACEMENT FUSE BOX, HAVE REPLACED ALL FUSES TODAY

don't shout!

Did you fit the replacement fuse box?

As Nate said the first thing I would do it check everything in the back if the fuse box make sure everything is connected and no obvious Shorts.

The chances of the next one is pretty small but have you checked the lamps?
Someone could have done something spectacular before you got it and blew them all lol

After you have checked ALL the fuses, check the light switch, they have been known to break down!
Also you haven't stated if you have checked the really obvious-the bulbs?

The indicators have a seperate relay, if you have access to a Haynes manual, they are all listed in there.

On another note, what model is it, GT/GTX etc?

IT'S A GT HAD A BIT OF LUCK MAIN BEAM WORKING DIPPED BEAM STILL NOT WORKING HAZARDS WORKING FOG LIGHTS WORKING BUT DRIVERS SIDE REAR CLUSTER SEEMS TO BE DOING WHAT IT WANTS

COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF PROBLEM WITH EARTHS IF SO WHERE CAN I FIND THEM

HOW DO YOU TEST HEADLIGHT SWITCH IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME I WOULD BE GRATEFUL

[Nate]

what have you done to get them working?

look upwards above the fusebox. check for any signs of water coming from either a leaky windscreen seal or a rusted out windscreen apperture. you will normally see rust stains down the bulkhead.

You're a funny man Nate, we were all thinking it but you had to spell it out... :)

[Nate]

sorry, but it's really hard to read when it's all in capitals

I know, there are learned articles in various branches of science focused on that very topic!
