Default Since we are talking about lights!

Seeing this thread relates to lights/stop lights, convoy lights etc I thought I might seek some advice.

My C8AX still runs 6V but has tail lights and indicators fitted, along with the convoy light and side lights. Everything works fine for about 10 minutes and once the engine gets hot nothing seems to work except indicators. Headlights, tail lights and side lights all dont work and neither does the dash illumination light.

Turn everything off - let the thing stand for a couple of hours then come out, start her up every thing works again for another 10-15 minutes.

Any ideas?

I've checked all the connections, pulled out and cleaned all the bulbs, checked connections to the back of the instrument cluster etc so I defer you the wealth of knowledge of the forum.

Cheers

Pete
