Double check your fuses.
Had non functioning map lights on my mates 2000Turbo earlier this week. We just removed the frosted cover and as soon as I touched one of the bulbs it came back to life. Strange problem - easy fix.
Good Luck
Dave

no, definately not fuse.
I've wiggled and pushed bulbs/fuses etc and ...nothing
all went at the same time (car was off the road......damp maybe)

right, so no voltage. Have you checked for continuity to ground? Continuity from the fuse location to the light??
It could be a break in the 12v feed. It could be a break in the -ve lead or if the fitting grounds directly to the roof of the car could be a dodgy connection there (that would probably be the case for those using the Fonz fix-it method!)
As long as you are absolutely sure that the fuse and bulbs are intact (again double check for continuity accross them)

As said dont just look at the fuses and asume there ok. Check them with a metre. Either check you have voltage both sides of the fuse or check for continuity
