Title: lights problem
Post by: charlieboy on 25 May 2008, 16:03:55

hi all, just come up with a small problem, when I switch on lights the dash lights  go    out, I had been towing a small trailer so thought the trailer electrics were faulty, but I only bought the lights board two weeks ago, now when the trailer is disconnected from car, the dash lights still go out when I swith on the lights, Is this just a small fuse problem or something else, any advice would be most welcome, thanks :-?

The variable / dimmer wheel on the main light switch isn't at minimum is it? Try moving it quickly back & forwards a few times, the track can get dirty / worn.

Good. the cheap, easy fixes are always the best. It's a common Vauxhall/Opel thing!  ;)
