Title: Turn signal, brake, and reverse lights not working.
Post by: knowell on November 11, 2023, 08:41:26 AM
Im trying to diagnose an issue with my turn signal, brake, and reverse lights not working.

starting by replacing the fuses. I was told US have a different rating system than UK glass fuses. I have a lucas 4 fuse box


From what I understand the UK rated amps are as follows:

1 35amp 2
3 25amp 4
5 25amp 6
7 15amp 8

what are the equivalent US fuses I can purchase stateside??

Where are you? I have the Lucas fuses I can send you, they're not expensive.

You can use pretty much any fuses to figure out if you have a short someplace......it sounds like only the back lights are affected? If so I would check for a bad ground first - to affect all of them like that.
