fog light and fuel guage

Post by robb »

Hi again guys after my escapade cutting through part of my wiring loom :oops: :roll: I have two questions does my D8 estate have two rear fog lamps ? or just the drivers side as this is working. The second question is since chopping the wires my fuel guage is showing full whereas it worked ok before anyone know which fuse number it is or could it be something else Thanks........... Rob

Normally only the driver's side rear fog works.

Not sure on the fuel gauge supply - what year is yours?

if you cut through the wire loom. you may have blown a few fuses

have you checked all the fuses ?
