lights go up , lights go down

I removed my charcoal cannister the other night and hey presto! my lights went loo la........

They wont raise when using the stalk to flash or turn on, but they will raise using the centre switch. The lights are coming on.

I've checked all the connections around the light motor, what else could it be? blown flash to pass diode? :cry:

It stores/reburns petrol vapor emmissions from your tank(some of the worst kind).
Don't do it if you park in a garage/smoke ;-)
