Earth Leads Help
My drivers side lights do not work, have tried fuse/bulb so am assuming its either a faulty wire or bad earth. Have checked under the batter and cleaned up the earth leads but i have no idea which one it is or even if it resides under the battery, any ideas?
Give us a clue - what model, year, engine, spec . .
Your bulb will have a feed for each filament and an earth. You can start tracing from there and always make a new earth if necessary.
having worked out which is supply and earth you can measure the resistance between the bulb end and the battery - terminal which should be minimal.

I think there is confusion here as to which lights do not work.
1. Front or back?
2. By 'Drivers side lights' do you mean all the lights on the drivers side, or your side lights?
3. Headlight, indicater, tail light, fog light etc?
4. Do the passenger side lights work ok, and also if it is the front lights that do not work, what do the tail lights do?
