Thanks for the replies everyone. I am from the gold coast..coomera. Never worked on anything electrical before so I am a bit scared. Hoping a friend of a friend will come over to check the battery with a multimeter and use a tester on the other items not working. As for the gearbox, it was previously replaced with a 5 spd on the floor and from reading your comments I am pretty sure they didn't connect the reverse lights when they did the job. Is it difficult to check? Also how can you remove just the fascia of the dash and not the whole thing? Online guides that I have found so far only show how to remove the whole thing. Checked the window winder and it needs replacing...anyone willing to sell a spare? Also I checked the drivers door it seems to be loose at the hinge. I tightened the nuts all the way but it seems to have no effect. I am able to lift the door about 10mm - 15mm upwards. I am thinking that this is affecting the door lock as the locks only seem to operate on this particular ute when the doors are fully closed?
