Probs with electrics

Hi Guys - Can anyone help a newby!

This morning I lost my sidelights, foglights, dash lights and the warning buzzer that tells me the lights have been left on. Got the fuse diagram from the Fury website (thanks to the guy who did that) checked all the fuses and they were OK, any advice before I have to call a auto sparky would be great

Too late now, I gotta go away for the week....damn....

Hi MvMathews...welcome to the forum! Whip the plastic shroud off from the rear of the steering wheel,look for a white plastic connector block, these work loose sometimes, and can give the symptoms you describe,failing that, check the fuse under the bonnet, (can't remember if it's fuse number 8,10 or 15) .The relay should be below and forward of the expnsion tank under the bonnet, check it by listening if the relay opens/closes with a click when lights are switched on...

Can anyone tell me where the light relay is (is it one of the three on the passenger inside front wing) Having trouble tracking this lecy problem down

Many Thanks

this was posted by another fury member, might help.

Due to spending many hours trying to find a fault that caused all my external lights to work apart from the headlights, i thought i'd let you all know a cheap way of replacing the two relays on the inner wing (passenger side) that illuminate all the external lights. These can be replaced using mazda 626 items which are a straight swap for the bongo items due to the position of these relays, the rubber jackets that are supposed to protect them actually fill with water & cause the relays to malfunction!!

Thank for that, still trying to track it down, but it looks more like a common problem so a good place to start
