I've tried to work this out, I've done searches, but i'm still stuck.
Headlights work fine on low-beam. Click to high-beam and nothing. I can hear clicking at the relay which has been switched out and I don't think is the problem. Fuses are all good. Indicator light on the speed-o only come on when just the parking lights are on (knob pulled out one click} Could this be the headlights themselves? or do i just have some f-ed up wiring. Things look pretty normal at the fuse board. |

Rhodes, hope you don't mind me butting in here but felt that we have a similar problem...
I pulled the relay and inspected in inside and out and all looks good. The relay clicks when I pull the turn signal stalk but the brights do not go on unless I hold the stalk back. I cleaned all of the ground points I could see: the two in the engine compartment, one above the fuse box and the two on the headlight buckets, and still have the problem. I guess I will look at the actual switch on the turn signal stalk tonight. |
