Lexx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There is a 3rd fuse box behind the battery underneath the black scuttle panel. It's a bit of a bugger to get at, but the Side Light fuse is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just checked there all that's there is a relay ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 As Lexx said, it really is a bit of a bugger, you've gotta remove the scuttle panel. Not sure where you're working, but I wouldn't attempt it in a dark place. IIRC the sidelight fuse is the 2nd one from the top. It's a mini 10a blade fuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 14n I like a challenge ! Haha ok right panel off all fuses tested with a continuity tests all fine next plan? Might just be lamps? But to be both side lights and rear fog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Useful pic of fuses concerned. http://forums.nicocl...se-t501025.html But maybe this might be your issue - relay fuse? http://my350z.com/fo...light-fuse.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimjason Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Put the panel back tonight Jesus it's worse than my old corsa for doing things!! All fuses were fine I'm guessing it will properly be a lamp itself I know the side light is a 501 anyone know the rear fog is it a rear bumper off to change ? I'm guessing front lights is wheel off arch off then go from there is it bumper off to?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 bad earth? Possible but how am I going to test this? My dipped and main work and brake / tail light ... And reversing works .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I have had this problem. No, front side lights, rear side lights, number plate lights. Head lights+full beam, brake lights all working fine. This turned out to be the fuse that 14N indicated. You will most likely have to track down the reason for it blowing in the first place.

Mopedmark Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 14N he's a good egg egh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimjason Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Sorry all fuses are fine I tested them all ok spot ok so any other ideas iv not checked my other lights tbh only know my front main and dipped work and my tail lights I'll go check now Im hoping it's just blown bulbs but just seems odd for them both side lights and rear fog to go... Anyone have an easy way of changing rear fogs iv only had the car 3 months still learning things haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
