1995 LWB Passenger side light problem

[jasondurantwalker]

Hi All,

Used to post here back in the old days, nice to see it's back online! Anyhow, having a strange electrical/lighting problem --looking for ideas:

1) All marker lights on the passenger side are out, other than the turn signals. Flashers work. No side marker lights, no brake lights, no running lights, etc. All lights on drivers side work as they should.

2) I've removed the lamp assemblies and tested them on the driver's side, all lights work perfectly. I've tested the driver's side lamp assemblies on the passenger's side, again only turn signals work.

3) I've checked all the bulbs and fuses, a-ok.

4) Stumped. Clearly there must be a short of some kind somewhere... but it's odd that the turn signals work front and rear when the wiring is in the same bundle.

Thoughts?

If there is a relay, then open it and clean the contacts carbon build up. If there isn't a relay, sorry I've nothing else to suggest.

Thanks Trent. I've been looking for a relay that might be related and I can't find one! Been through the shop manual etc. Anyone know of relay that may be related (as above)?

Dash lights work? radio work? radio work If not,You may want to check the fuseable link in the wire loom right buy the battery. you have to cut the cloth harness back to fine the fuse. Feel for a lump in the harness

Thanks singingcamel, sash lights are out also! Checked the fuseable link, perfect. (Radio is irrelevant as it's aftermarket, but works fine.) Still living in stumpedtown.

Well, that's my only suggestion . Blowing any fuses ? I've seen the glove box light short out the passenger side lights , check that.

 

[jasondurantwalker]

Appreciate! Okay will check glove box light next. No fuses anywhere are blowing, wish one was!

Have you checked the headlight/turn signal stalk on the steering column? Doesn't the 95 soft dash have the same one as Disco I?
