If the fan & rear lights are run from an LB circuit, have yer garage tried additional fuses under the bonnet??
... Is there actually any power running to the cab fuse box from the LB for the light circuit..? (assuming the LB is not shot.)

:? Does the front cab light over the rear view mirror work?? :?

Slowly pointing your tech guys in the right direction....? :D
If the front light works but the rears don't? Then the the rear lights could have been bypassed somewhere?? (My guess after fuse 1.) :-k
They ALL should run off fuse 1 that Geoff (g8dhe) has posted up!!

Just been out to mine to check by opening all my doors & pulling fuse 1... Guess what...? :wink:

Run from another live fused source??? Or possibly not in this case!??

I'll explain my earlier post a bit more in detail & hopefully shed some light.... no pun intended :lol:
Our Bongo had a Mazda kitchen fitted in a former life & still has the fan fitted in the passenger side rear window.
When we received our Bongo the kitchen had been removed & the rear light, centre light & window fan did not work.
On investigation the live feeds to these items didn't exist.
I was told that a main feed went to the rear of the Bongo for the kitchen & these items were fed from that main live wire.
When the kitchen was removed I presume part of the wiring loom was removed & therefore the life feeds to the two lights & the fan were disconnected.
Later when we had a side conversion done, these items were rewired & a live connection was fed from the panel of the PMS (zig) system & now everything works as it should.

I have never seen a Mazda cube kitchen so don't know how these items may have been wired up.
I can see how the fan would be related to the kitchen but as for the lights, I don't know.
All I know is that the wires just ended & there was nothing in the immediate vicinity to plug them into.

PS Just had a thought, the cigarette lighter in the rear didn't work either & also had to be re-wired.

In the absence of a picture of the conversion, i'd say the the roofraisers posts in this thread have nailed lisamaywalkers problem... :wink: It looks like a bit of a re-wire may be on the cards Lisa :shock:
