    Does your drivers side rear light work?

    Edit - Indicator and brake should, tail light and reverse shouldn't.

    And I'm guessing your cd player and heater controls don't work either?

    its just the actual lights behind the dash that dont

    will check tail light now

    It wants to be the connections at the back of the clocks, will need mine fixing as well as it's been like yours since april (when some cunt nicked my cd player). Though mine could be a fuse, I'm to lazy to bother checking.

    Tell me how you get on pleaseeeeeeeee.

    its not exactly hard to check a fuse mate

    and if heater controls go so does power steering (mk1)

    my speedo light went after getting smashed into, i just know what im doing in relation to revs and gear.

    not that cars driving atm

    right, iv changed the bulb and the bulb holder and still nothing works (interior dash lights and tail light) but brake light does.
    even the buzzing noise when you leave lights on and open the door doesnt work.

    what the hell is wrong with it?

    do people still think its the connections at the back of the clocks? as i dont want to take them out, fiddle with them to put it back together and still dont work.

    suggestions please

    removed all abc pillars and roof lining and fiddled with every single wire thru out the car.

    left everything out still as its all for sale

    Hmmm...this problem sounds really familiar to mine.
    How difficult/easy is it to take the clocks out?
  26. #26
    fiddly as fuck to take clocks out, when i took mine out cleaned all connections etc, i still had no lights. so i wasted a couple of hours for nothing lol
