bump

 

Non related m8, but i'm interested in this as i shorted a radio wire out on a vectra. Now i got no dasboard lights, no reversing lights, no fog lights and the lights on warning buzzer thing has gone amongst other things.

The bloody radio worked fine when i changed the fuse

 

check your earth straps in the engine bay. if there is a strap gone you might of melted the power lead on the alternator too

 

Update:

Unrelated repair aswell

Was checking all lights today and found number plate light not working when i pulled it out a corroded wire was flapping round (must have shorted onto other). Checks manual and low and behold number plate light has its own fuse . Replaced it and all dash lights, beeper thing and fog lights come back. Still confused as they all have independant fuses

I know this dont relate to your prob roots, but check everything again as it might not be related to your initial problem :beer:

 

Check the earthing, double checked the fuses i also checked the switch thingy that is above the brake peddle all are fine. I think i may have melted a wire somewhere :| As for the indicators i think a realy may have gone is there any way to check?
