Default Lighting issues

Hi all, new to this forum.

My Father & I recently purchased a 1982 Daimler Sovereign to restore and get back on the road. We have having an issue with the lights and was hopeing someone would have an idea of the issue.

All indicators are not working along with all of the rear lights. I have by passed the light with a live wire to check the lamp holders are working and they are. The lights were working before but after changing a bulb they now don't work.

I'm not sure if it would be a fuse somewhere or relay and where these are located, any advise would be much appreciated,

Thanks

Daniel

Odd , the light groups come from a variety of fuses.

So , just to clarify you are saying nothing at the rear? park, brake, reverse, indicators all gone + front indicators gone? What bulb were you changing when you first noticed the problem?

You could try operating the hazard lights , if you know they were working before. The power for the comes from a different fuse to normal indicator operation. If they spring to life it would point to the indicator fuse.

Fuse for indicators is main fuse panel #10 15A

Adding to that from Steve.

Go back to the bulb you replaced, remove it, see if all is again online.

Stranger things have happened, mainly in the S2 days, but hell, it is worth a try.

Knowing which bulb you messed with is important.

Or the feed from the ignition switch to the fuse block. That omnipresent white wire...

I'm having a similar issue. Except it is just the turn signals not working. I was going to scour the site to see what other people have gone through, but it was nice at the top of the list.
