I'd be grateful if anyone has an idea what I may have blown/fused/destroyed.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks

the fuse is actually under the seat in the rear left hand side panel just follow the main wiring loom it might be tucked underneath it
not under the side panel you would first think of

I love this post. Been having the same problem and pulling my hair out looking for the solution. Came on here to ask for any ideas and low & behold, this thread was sitting on the top page. Changed the fuse and now all good
Cheers
brilliant but also infuriating as why the fook did they put a fuse their why not beside the fuse box even in the wiring diagram it shows it but not where it is

just resurrecting this query as I was suffering the same side/tail light problem on a 2002 Foxeye.
Checked all fuses, although the one tucked under the seat was marked "Signal" and seemed to be fine and did actually feed the indicators. I then took the right hand the handlebar switch apart (bad move) and cleaned all the visible contacts. Spent a fair while trying to re-assemble it and turned on the sidelights and they seemed to work. Switched off the bike and tried again and got nothing. Wheeled the bike back in the garage in disgust and just happened to wiggle the key and the side/tail lights came on. I am now suspecting the ignition switch, so just wondered if these can be taken apart to clean the contacts, or if I will have to fork out for a replacement.
Cheers in advance
Rich

As i remember there are two security screws that just need a wee slot cut into them for flat head screwdriver and all comes apart. Think i used the dremel for it.
When taking apart, keep bottom turned up and slowly take apart. Just take it slowly and all should be fine.
Im sure i posted pic of broken wire on here but not sure when.

I assume the ignition/switch assembly needs to be removed, which is the bit that scares me for fear of shearing the bolts. I checked Fowlers website for a replacement switch/bolts if all else fails, and the parts no longer seem to be available. For now I just needs to wiggle the key to make the lights come on, but I'm not sure how this will far at MOT time.
Cheers
