Hi guys, I'm having trouble trying to sort my electrical problem out. My dashboard lights are not working, neither is my LH side lights or my RH tail light. I changed the fuses and tried tracing the wires in the Haynes Manuel but I can't seem to find where the problem might be. Could anyone help me out or give me a push in the right direction?

I have a 1992 Mini Cooper SPi by the way.

I would start checking your earth points for corrosion. For the LH side lights and for the instruments lighting it is located on a brace between the inner wing and brake servo. For the RH tail light it is between the fuel tank and the LH tail light.

Check all the wires behind the grill are plugged in. The rh and lh side lights are separate and one of them works with the dash. I've also had the multiplug on my speedo not in properly which has caused dash lights to fail.
