Default Sapph, No ignition lights? **Sorted (kind of)**

Hello everyone, i've had a nightmare today i swapped the dizzy cap and rotor on my 4x4 and like a fool messed up the plug leads anyway after i'd finally put them back in the right order the battery had gone flat, so i connected the jump start pack up and it fired up no problem but now i have got no ignition lights. The blue main beam light works as does the green indicator/hazzard one but no ABS/hanbrake or the other red one.
I've checked the fuses and they all seem fine any other ideas?

Thanks
Mark

Check the plug on the back of the clocks, not sure how it could be related but i had a similar problem with mine and it turned out to be that

Default Check the wiring within the fuss box mate!!!!

Hi Mate

I had the same problem on me 2wd Sapp cossie, after checking everything from the back of the clocks and all the fusses, etc, eveything from all earths you name it I tried it...to no joy.

In the end I had to take it Mark @ Grove garage who traced this to a wire break within the fuss box, one soldered, all lights back on and no problems since. Now this may not cure ur motor, but its worth checking out mate.........

Respect to Grove Garage!!!!!

Sorted it today i took out and put back all the fuses and now it's fine
Of course this means i have a dodgy fusebox/wiring loom/plug somewhere but at least it's all ok for now.
Thanks for the help and advice everyone
