According to my owners handbook, this is fuse 23, which works the right hand side light front and rear, the rear numberplate lights and the dash lighting. Seperate fuses for headlights.

I would suggest check rear numberplate lights as these are prone to rusting and may have a lack of earth nowadays.

If not, try removing sidelight bulbs one at a time and trying it till you find out which one is causing the problem.

Hope this helps

Fuse 22 then. This ONLY does the sidelights on LHS front and rear. Lucky, That'll save some fault finding, just remove front sidelight bulb, if the fuse then blows, the problem's at the back.

- You haven't changed the ice lately have you? It is also known for the radio to chafe the loom that runs behind it, this sometimes causes problems with sidelights.
