Joseph Cronin New Member 4 Member For: 12y 9m 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 21/03/12 09:34 AM Share Posted 21/03/12 09:34 AM I have a 2004 ba xr6 turbo and about 3 weeks ago my rear tailights stopped working however the brake likes still worked, I checked the fuses and globes and all was fine, also the speedo lights had stopped working, I resorted to driving only during daylight until I could take the car to get looked at, it wasnt long before the speedo stopped working all together and now all the indicators, brake lights, reverse lights and headlights wont work(hi beam still does) also the car wont turn over with the first turn of the key, but starts fine when I try a second time, does anyone heard of this problem? fixes?

Joseph Cronin New Member 4 Member For: 12y 9m 6d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 24/03/12 06:32 AM Author Share Posted 24/03/12 06:32 AM my mistake, the headlights, reverse and brake lights still work, just the speedo and indicators that dont, I checked all the wiring for the rear lights and its all good so im going to look at the fuse box in the engine bay now.any major earth points that are prone to coming loose? I bottomed out pretty bad the same day the problems started but I would have thought the earth points wouldnt be in a place that could put them at risk of damage.Im not to sure where all the main earthpoints are either.....
