Title: Electrics problem, headlights
Post by: Mikester on 10 March 2009, 21:05

I turn my headlights on, and they do nothing. Full beam and side lights work, just not dipped beam.

Have checked bulbs and fuses and they are all ok, weird as its both at the same time.

Any ideas anyone, its a bit dark outside.

Cheers

Mike

Checked the relays?

Best thing to do would be put a multimeter on it.

I'd say relay or switch fault. Possible wire fault, but I doubt it.

Relays mate.

I'd imagine it's them. When they start to fail they can start to do that.
