Electrical Gremlins Td5
I have lost rear demist, rear fog light and main headlights (but they still work on flash)
Edit - Just realised that Speedo, Fuel and Temp gauges are also dead
Orange dash light on demist was working and relay was clicking but no power to rear screen
Now dash light also dead on demist and rear fog switch
Any ideas ?

Fuses all OK

Edit - the Black/white wire that feeds the rear demist relay should be live but is not
(it was live yesterday when only the rear demist was not working)
So I think I have a live current problem which is affecting the lights, gauges etc
All points seem to be earthing OK

Anybody know where this Black/white wire originates from - it goes up behind the dash and is lost in the thick loom.
Checked all yellow relays - in fuse box and under drivers seat - all seem OK

Check the wiring in the rubber grommet/tube running to the rear door. Bet the demist one is snapped, wouldnt mind betting the others (wiper and brake light) arnt far behind.

All sorted
Loose wire behind a 5amp fuse (no headlights, speedo, warning dash lights) and a broken wire going into the rear door (demist) - thanks rallysteve
Just need to rebuild it all tomorrow
