werner Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 I've got a January 2001 (first registered) X-reg 2.3i Ghia. A couple of days ago the numberplate light wouldn't come on, I opened and closed the boot and it then worked again. Today I switched the engine on and the wipers, front & rear wouldn't work, nor would the washer. As it got dark I noticed that the dashboard lights,clock light, the automatic (gear) selector light and again the numberplate light weren't working either. Should I check the fuses first & if so what ones as they don't all seem to be mentioned in the handbook that I have. Help please!! Quote
Saif Rehman Posted January 24, 2012 Report Posted January 24, 2012 Hi, Your back number plate light could be down to loose connection of the bulb, dodgy bulb or the rear gaiter where the wire pass from the main body to tailgate (located top right hand side) Very prone to cable fraying and braking. Fuse 20 (5 amp blue) panel underneath the light switch is for the wipers.Fuse 28 (3 amp violet) is for the number plate light.In fact just check all of them one by one. Come to think of it: The dashboard light, clock and gear selector lights - you sure you haven't got it on the low dimmer settings? Quote
