all was well till i flashed headlamps at a mate of mine then all the side lights headlamps hazzards horn and central locking stopped working
the alarm stopped working also .
the engine starts wipers indicators brake lights intierior lights all work
but if i try to start the engine withe sides on or horn or hazarrds or door open or horn pressed starter doesnt work it just clicks from one of the yellow relays behind the plastic a panel in rh footwell
apart from a gallon of petrol and a match anyone have any other ideas i just spent 4 hrs cleaning all earth leads and and as many conections as i could find and its still the same

hope some one can help before i do somthin stupid :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
Have a look at the fusable links located in the fabric sheaf tucked against the off side wing under the bonnet.

if the fusible links are ok replace the lighting stalk that has the hazard switch in it.

Have you replaced the light stalks. I had the exact same thing and it was the light switch stalk?

no i havent im in france so i will have to find one or wait till end of month till i come over to uk luckily i dont need to use it its just annoying cos indicators work but the rest on that stalk doesnt and there is no power to the fuse box on those fuses is the stalk before or after the fuses? downloaded rave cd3 but its only for 95 on and mines a 93 i will try un plugin the stalk and test for current at the plug i will post the results later cheers redhand
