GQ Electrical gremlins

[4X4 Patrol Man]

Hey new to this forum stuff.

Got a question?
Have an 97 GQ patrol RD2.8 and my park lights, tail lights, number plate light, and dash board light dont light up when lights or psrk light position is on.

Checked fuses near footwell, found all ok. Not sure if any are missing as i dont have a diagram. But does anyone know whats going on or if they have had this issie before. Checked bulbs gound the end of glass to be slightly black, brought new bulbs just in case. Do have trailer plug and dosent look very nice to deal with. Anyone got any easy ideas???

I had the same on my GU and they are all on one fuse. Not sure on a GQ but someone will know. By the way mine was caused by the trailer I was towing crushing the wire loom sometimes, only when loaded. Hard to find.

Could be the light switch/stalk.
You can clean the contacts inside...not that hard either

Test the fuse holder for power.

With a multimeter or a light tester in hand, trace the power up the wiring loom from tail lights.
Or it might something as simple as the failure of the earth wire/wiring loom socket or plug on the main wiring loom that goes to the lights from fuse box

More times than not it'll be caused by the trailer plug wiring......
