Hi new to the forum, Based in Ireland and have just started a project. I have rebuilt the rear bulk head and have started on the electrics , I have confirmed that all fuses and bulbs are ok , Looking for a pointer ?
Fuse box is also slightly different from diagrams I have viewed, any help appreciated

Welcome to the forum.

Do we understand what the question is?

From the post header the side marker lites and door lights do not work? Do you mean the lights on the doors or the interior lights? Or both?

The photos of the electrical bay are really dark - hard to see what you see, so try re-posting.

I will re take the pictures. The Interior lights are disconnected so I am unaware ,
The 2 Side lights each side and the 3 door lights are not working on either side,
All Bulbs and Fuses have been replaced , Wondering is there a particular relay to go after , Eve though the fuse box diagram does not call one out,

Well in regards to the doors are the wires connected to the door plungers? Mine were disconnected when I received my D. Very easy to check.

Just a thought. Dave

I have attached a new picture, checked the switch on the doors , also no power to them or the bulbs on the doors or side lights

I can't see underneath your fuse box to answer the question for myself, but where has all the wiring gone to that would otherwise be in those empty locations? (i.e. the spots in your fuse box that don't look to have fuses in them).

OK the left sidelites and the rt sidelites are on different fused circuits and are also on different grounds, I suspect.

Do your parking lights (front bumper) and taillights work? Any of them? The two fuses that run your L side and R side marker lamps run the parking and taillamps, too, so it's a clue about where the problem might be.

Along this line I recommend you get one of the poster-size wiring diagrams from DMCH. A project car like this usually has more than a few electrical irregularities. Knowing how the car was meant to be wired helps a lot.

The terminals are in the fusebox . Just no fuses in those locations.

#9 10 amp heated rear window/ power mirrors

#10 10 amp A/C mode switch, door lock warning lamp

#14 20 amp low ( dip) beam headlight

Half embarrassed replying , I have discovered that if you have the centre console disconnected , in particular the lights switch , this cuts of power to the rear , excluding the plate light, Thanks for your help , You can tell I am new to this
