will not go fuses seem ok
will not go fuses seem ok
Check simple things like the bulbs being shot or rusty/dirty contacts for the bulbs.
Are all of your other lights working? Have you checked the earth?
Do you have dash lights & front parkers? & what model do you have?

Hi mate, which fuse blows when you turn the car on, assuming its only 1 fuse that blows each time.
You need to do some trial and error to isolate the problem. They would be running on the same circuit so I would go and get a handfull of fuses. dissconnect everything that runs on that circuit (tail lights, park lights, dash, etc) and then plug in each one at a time until the fuse blows again.
Then you will know what area is causing the problem. Then you can check that part out and find a short, etc.
You havent put a new stereo in by chance?
This is common in Patrols & yes I would say its a 90% chance its your headlight switch (stork) but its not the stork itself its a switch in behind & its serviceable.
So what are you DIY skills like ie. could you fit your own car stereo? If the answer is yes than I can talk you through the rest.

Sorry just read your first post???? Have you fitted or have you had a new stereo fitted of late?
I found I had no interior light, horn, tail light & dash. Replaced fuse all good. Not sure what caused fault. So, if GQ is same check front park lights haven't rubbed through. Have you added driving lights to the circuit?
