Hi I blew a fuse to my interior lights and tail lights, changed fuse and no won't work and also been to garage as its saying terminal 30 open circuit.
Also horn doest work either
Please help
 
This is the fuse that will have blown. 7.5a 5th fuse up LHS. If you've been checking the fuses make sure you've replaced them in the correct place. Have a close look at the fuse slots. If you can see a metal terminal on BOTH sides then there should be a fuse in there.

What about the rest, did you remove any other fuses?
 
Can you post a pic of your fuse box?
 
What caused the fuse to blow, had any work done on your van?
 
Looks like a fuse missing. LH column green 30a is wipers, below that should be 15a tail lights and below that 30a horn,

Looks like that slot is empty. Can you confirm if there is a metal terminal both sides in that slot?

No can't confirm, can you send pic with arrows of what should be where please e
 
I've still not managed to get my rear lights or interior lights working after putting in all fuses and having it put on diagnostic and keep coming up with terminal 30 open circuit
 
Appreciate advice on left & right tail lights not working.
(T6 2016, can’t find a solution in previous threads on this forum.)

The other lights work: number plate, brake, reversing.

Replaced tail light bulbs, no joy. Checked all the fuses under dashboard & in engine, all fine.


Got a wiring diagram, attached, & am wondering if there’s a problem in the interior wiring harness or in the 6-pin connector, but I don’t know where these are located! Anyone know?
Or maybe I never found the correct fuse box!

Thank you in advance for your help

Did you solve this @Petrina? Im having the same problem, all fuses are good, did you find where the wires are connected? Behind the glove box?
thanks

Claire did you get yours sorted having the same issue
Yes! Like a fool i had put a fuse back in wrong slot coz had been messing around fitting a dash cam. Well worth just going though it methodically and checking, even for a 2nd or 3rd time. If you look closely a slot that needs a fuse is slightly different, metal at both ends.
From memory i think it was the 7.5 near bottom on LH collum.
Have you had any fuses out recently?
 
Hi all, I’m a bit stumped and need a bit of expertise! I have stripped the cab in my 65 t6 start line panel (proper filthy!) and when the cab headlining went back in, the cab interior lights and both load area lights stopped working. I only recently realised the rear lights are not working either, but brake lights work. I was thinking, 7.5 fuse bottom left must be blown. It was and replaced. No difference. I read that disconnecting the battery might reset bcm. Nope. Touching pos and neg might help. Nope. Fuse intact. Where do I go next? Light out light on dash, cheap obd11 bought for my TT didn’t bring up any codes. Need to sort before I ram in tonnes of insulation!!! Really appreciate any ideas, cheers all!
 
HI Nick have you checked the plugs under the passenger seat? Also you might need a decent code reader to clear the BCM.I had the same issue spent tweo days testing all the wiring. I do have an Autel and there was loads of codes to do with the BCM and other electrical modules that had errors, once i cleared them i had tail lights. Do you have Number plate lights? if you have them then id say its a clearing all codes would bring your lights back, as it did for me? are you local to Grays in essex?
 
Hi Simbat, thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated! I have disconnected and reconnected the plugs under the passenger seat, I do have one of the 2 numberplate lights working, no change on the tail lights or interior lights. I did remove a towbar and rather than disconnect the electrics, I pushed them back into the cavity they were coming out of and cable tied the plug up in case I want to reinstate in the future, but I do know the interior lights were out before I did this! I in Chinnor, South Oxfordshire, so a bit of a trek to Grays! Do you think if I could get hold of someone locally with an autel is could be sorted?

Did you tape up the wiring before you pushed it back as you might created a short i did the same thing when adding a light for me side step. But cleared all codes and back in business if you can get a local garage just to clear any stored codes i reckon your crack it
