Hi Guys, today while driving I smelt something burning...(Electrical)

I then realized that my sidelights weren't working. I have checked the fuses but all appears to be fine. Could one of the relays be the problem? If so, which one is it?

Which fuses did you check? There is a tail relay that it could be.

I've checked all the fuses Stav. Where is this relay situated? I should mention all the other lights works.

The rear lights working?

If so that's odd as there on the same fuse and relay (tail fuse and relay behind the drivers fuse box)

@ Stav... Me and my brother spent almost four hours trying to solve the sidelight issue.He tested all the fuses with his meter checking gizmo, all appeared to be working. We tried to remove the fusebox to get to the relay, that was a nightmare. I had to call out an electrician. Luckily, it was a guy I knew. He solved the problem in less than a minute.. Yes you guessed it..... was the fuse.Lol.......... cost me fifty quid for call out charges. the moral of this story is stay away from fancy gizmos a simple tester works a lot better.
