Afternoon guys

 

im in need of some help, my St170 has developed a lighting issue, ive only got brake lights and dipped and main beam but no number plate, rear lights, dash lights, gauge lights and dial lights, ive checked fuses, wiring behind the dash, light switch and center console but im drawing a blank, has anyone else had this issue before??

 

Thanks Russ

    Sounds very much like a BCM fault.

    Check the BCM plugs and sockets for signs of water/corrosion
