glad to hear it they would have most likely charged you a fortune to hunt that down!

 

glad to hear you saved a bunch of money, and learned a thing or two!

 

Just for reference, i have this problem and am going to try hunting it down later on. The Fuse F8 thing is interesting though. it covers the circuit for all Right hand sidelights, front and back, but also the glovebox light. This light is a crap design with exposed contacts that can easily short on the mounting bracket. If this shorts, you lose your RHS sidelights!!

I am going to try the light switch and earths to see if i can fix my no-dashboard-lights issue. Will be back if i cant fix it!!

 

My illumination and passenger tail-light is out, too (in a 1997 Discovery). Today we tried to change the bulb but saw no improvement. I will try looking at fuses tomorrow - hopefully it's a relatively simple fix since I don't have tools, understanding of how the car works, or even an owner's manual.

 

did you ever figure this out because i have the exact same problem

 

do you have a volt meter? Are you familiar with circuit diagrams?
