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. |

Got em fixed
Somebody had moved the the large white wire that supplied power at the fuses to a terminal on #9 fuse. Not sure why so I moved it back to where it was supposed to be. After doing that I had the problem with the brights being on while holding the stalk in but then going off when letting go. Like larryp said, the dimmer relay had to be in a certain position for the brights to stay on. But now they work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) While I was messing around in the fuse are I also tried to track down an issue with the license plate light fuse blowing. Wandering if this could be related to my power drain. Maybe I'll start another thread. |
