1997 1.9 td lights not working - motox

help ive had this problem since i got the car but its been intemitant , all lights just go and the heater fan has something to do with it , the first time it happened i turned the heater fan on and bam, no lights but them came back straight away then it did it again and i only had side lights and if i tried to turn the main beam on it just turn them all off again for 5 minites then i could use only the sidelights again i parked up at work left it for an hour or so came back and it was working again so i thought no more an it just did it in the dark so thats the end it needs to be fixed this time i didnt touch anything and the lights arnt coming back yet ? help the heater fan also isnt working at this point HELP please:)

You have a bad connection somewhere in one of the main supply leads. Check the fues holders, poor connections are not unknown. If you have a circuit, check what is common to the lights and heater. The heater fan takes quite a bit of current, on XMs the heater supply fuse burns up. Look at all the high current fuses, probably 30a and check for signs of burning.
