I measured me to the power is getting there but no earth, where does the dashboard lights, ashtray lights and all of those get there earth from? The funny thing is that the cigaretlighter gets earth and works fine, but not the small couple wires beside it?

Any help appreciated.

Rheostat in the lights switch may have gone.

Let me know if you need a new one.
