Electrical Issues

Searching 4 Mud · 02-01-2005, 07:27 PM

My ex is having trouble getting power to the high mount brake light, cigarette lighter (very important) and fog lights. All wires are conected etc but power is failing to get to them! Does anyone possibly know what could be causing it?

Have you checked the fuses in the fuse box in the passenger compartment?

No, all fuses are ok. I still can't figure out what is causing it as all wires seem to have power and a good earth.

Don't know what to tell you. Only the high mount brake light doesn't light? Did all the problems occur at once? Have you checked the bulbs (brake and foglight)? It's likely something very simple. Don't think these 3 are linked in any other way. Only the GEM would be a possibility, but I don't think it has any bearing on brake lights or fog lights.
