MY90 MY LIFE:
I was cruising alongside a shogun at 85 and my dash lights flickered, then flickered again and i seemed to loose all lights dash,heads sides rear the lot. full beam still working and so is brake and indicators, due to everything not workin that is controlled by the light switch, not working i asumed the switch was at fault, removed the ignition shroud and the switch and it seems in perfect condition, looking at the switch it just bridges from brown to the other wires to work i tried bridgin but still no joy. any ideas??

also she failed emissions for the mot and ive added red ex and ulimate diesel any oher ideas (im thrashing her around whilst the red ex is in)

its annoying cuz all lights worked at mot time grrrrrrrrrrrr :evil:

please any ideas would be a great help

thanks

MY90 MY LIFE:
oh and all fuses are fine

mobi:
can't help on the wiring side but the for the emissions take the air filter out or put a new one in. another thing that works is to limit the revs if you can't rev over 3000rpm the emissions will be lower.

extreme90:
i bet the mot tester is putting his lead boot to the deck instead of building up the rev's
this isnt the correct procedure
so this time around, restrict the WOT movement, and make sure your there for the mot !
and if he boots it, just make him aware of the correct way to do a mot emissions test :roll: :roll:

lights, is it only the clocks and dash that aint illuminated ?
or you lost the whole lot ?

MY90 MY LIFE:
IVE LOST THE LOT!! dipped headlights, sides and rears and dash lights - still got all indicators and full beam. so ive lost everythin controlled by the toggle switch on steering colomn but switch seems fine

the emissions apparently he is doin correctly because i explained its been sitting they take 6 readings at diff revs then do an average
mines 7.46 needs to be 3.00 there is hardly any smoke visible in my mirrors when driving dont understand.
