I'm hoping someone might be able to help me, or at least give me some direction as I'm stumped.
I replaced my fuse box a couple of weeks ago from the old barrel fuses to a new blade fuse one and all was well and everything worked.
This weekend I removed the convoy lighting switch, installed a reverse camera, and now suddenly I have:
No park brake indicator on the dash
No Diff lock indicator on the dash (assuming it works, you can hear the air being let out when you return to on-road mode. )
and most concerning - No brake lights at all (The 'driving' light when you turn the headlights on works
and only the left reverse light works.
It's not the fuses, I've tested them, and also other items that run off the two fuses in question for the brake/reverse lights (indicators on one fuse and the wipers and instruments of the other)
it's weird.
I'm wondering if there are any connections in where the wiring harness runs up under the dash beneath the box with the dimmer switch/convoy lights etc.
I did run the cables for the reverse camera through there and had to poke and prod quite a bit the get them through, maybe I knocked a cable loose in there?
I also noticed that there is a great bunch of cables looped up underneath the right rear light assembly when I put the cable for the camera in, could I have pulled something loose there?
any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks
Chris
edit to add that I did take the instrument binnacle off the replace the lights in the speedo which were blown, so there is a chance I may have pulled something loose in there as well

Thanks!Originally Posted by PeteFox
I'll double check the bulbs, but by eyeball they look fine.
Guess I'll go hunting for ground cables, wherever they may be.

I am an electrician, without looking at wiring diagrams, I suggest it is something that is common to all systems, The switch may have been switching an earth, I have a wiring diagram on my email, its hard to read but i will have a look at it for you, I have my landrover assessable to work on at the moment so i may as well help someone working on one.

Thank you!!! that's an amazing offer.
6.30am here. about to grab some breakfast and then start poking around.
I've found a wiring diagram, though it's not very readable, from the auction site. I'll print that off so I have something to work off.
Wish me luck!

When you say you removed the convoy switch, what did you do exactly?
Wizard
Looking at the wiring diagram, if you were to remove the blackout switch then you would need to bridge cable 2 to 1 (N-N) and 6 to 5 (GP-GP, green/purple?) to maintain normal operation.

You're Awesome!
That's probably where I've gone wrong then. I bridged 1-2, missed 6-5 somehow. That will be first on my list of this to check.
Master
zooming in on that diagram, it looks like the color codes are GP(6) and GO(7) which should be purple and orange.
Edit.
It's too early in the morning. 6-5, not 6-7. green/purple to green/purple.
off to give that a try now.

GP also happens to be the stop lamp
