No headlights and both front indicators on

Quote from V P on 30th December 2012, 10:40 pmHad an interesting drive back from the petrol station tonight. No front head lights and both front indicators are on solid when main lights should be on. Also all the lights are lit on the dash, both indicators and main beam blue light. Any earth locations I should be checking etc? Thanks! 🙂

Having done so you will find the main loom clipped to the underside of the slam panel. At each end of these you will find a 4 way bullet connector with the black earth wires. These are notorious for carroding and should ideally be replaced but with a bit of time and some sand paper they should be okay as a temporary fix but remember to put some good old vasaline in before re-assembling.;)
good luck but if this doesn't do the trick let me know?
