Angry S60 fog lights not working, after replacing alternator

I parked my S60 for 5 months after declaring SORN, the alternator went bust, so I replaced it together with a new battery, Now the fog lights stopped working, main beam focus not functioning, instrument cluster and radio lights not iluminating. Please help.

There is a poor circuit connection. My suggestion for you is to connect it to a reliable 12 volt source or your car battery.

You have posted in the wanted section, so not likely to be seen.

Try posting in the General section and make sure it is the right one for your model year. There are two!!

Problem finally solved by changing the main light switch with a good second hand 20 pounds worth: thumbs_up:
