ln61 park lights and tail lights not working HELP!!!!

[dumpedln61]

So today i found out that my park lights and tail lights are not working
my brake light will work if i put my foot on the brake and my head lights work
same with all the indercaters
have checked all fuses and are all mint

can anyone help?

Sounds very much like a fuse, have you tested continuity of the fuses with a multimeter or just had a look?
Have you added any electrical equipment lately? eg. new headunit or spotlights.
Cheers mate, hope you get it sorted

only checked them dash lights and park lights are still working so when i pull the relay out they stop so it cant be the relay

have added headunit

i am well stuck with this one

[Smurf]

did the lights stop working straight after you fitted the head unit? If so, check your fuses again, any chance you picked up a wire under the dash to use for stereo earth?

[uptomynutsinruts]

Yea thats what I was thinking Smurf. Get a multimeter and pull every fuse, check continuity as sometimes they dont look broken.

Hope you get it sorted

i am unsure if they did as iv only just noticed
i ran a new earth got the acc from the clock and power from the original headunit wires

will get the muiltimeter out tonight and go over all the fuses and let you guys know how i get on

thanks for the help!!

im not sure if this will help but i know a guy who bought a mitsi lancer off his mate and the park/tail lights didnt work but the indicaters and brake lights did, the problem was the previous owner thought he could be smart and wire up the radio himself, turns out the earth of that was wired up to the power of the horn or the tail lights or something stupid like that so every time u turn the car on it shorts out and blows fuses hahah

yeah alot of vehicles have issues after sterio installs if not done correctly,i know 5 mates that have done it ,and 1 was a sparkie ,double check all your wiring and where you got it from
