Lotus Europa no side lights / dash lights!

Over the last couple of months I noticed the side lights would not turn on immediately, if I tried again a bit later then lights would turn on.

Now I have nothing, I have checked fuse 16 this is OK, the rear fog light works. I have got a replacement switch and this does not fix the problem.

All other electrical works, the headlights work OK. I hear the relay for headlights, but nothing for side lights.

Pointers please....

Thanks.

Probably the "switch controller" - it's the same module as in the S2 Elise according to Deroure. If the fuse is fine I think that's a common culprit. Hopefully Junks'll be along to be a bit more authoritative (and maybe tell you how to get to it - I think it's probably under the stack so hopefully no need to take too much apart to get to it).

Did you manage to find out the issue as I have the same issue? The switch is ok as I works when I connect to the headlights and the fuse is fine - but the sidelights will not work
Many thanks

I had to replace the Switch Pack (same as the Elise and got it from Elise Parts). Switch pack is located behind the speedo / rev counter instruments.

Bit of a flaff to change, need to be careful with hard plastics and clips. I didn't disconnect the multi plugs to the instruments they looked a bit fragile.

Thanks - I was hoping it wasn't going to be the SCM! £90 I could do without spending!
