Head lights switching off

Has anyone had a problem with their dipped beam going off momentarily when switching to high beam?
It's done it to me a few times, only for a split second but it's enough to give me a fright when driving on a pitch black country lane.
Could it be the switch on its way out or something else?

My 2005 doblo has always done this since i had it!, it scared me half to deatht he first time on a dark country road!, i recently converted the headlights to a full HID kit with digital ballasts which have much lower consumption than standard halogen bulbs and it very rarely does it with these fitted! explainations on a postcard pls! :P

I'd guess a bad connection inside the stalk

Hi,
I had this problem in my Doblo, where the main beam went out on switching from low-beam.
A replacement column indicator switch, (stalk), cured the problem.
My main agent told me it was a common wear problem.

Thanks for the replies guys,
I'll see if I can get a replacement switch from my dealer

If you want to pm me either your reg or chassis matey I'll provide you the correct part number! There are many options on these and I assume yours does have rear wash wipe + drivers air bag?

let us know how mauch they are please as they look expensive!!!!!

This has happened on mine since I've had it.(except for about 4 weeks around MOT time) I find that instead of just pushing the stalk back to go to main beam, if I also push slightly down (about 20 degrees) then it works OK. However I've never been able to use the flasher properly. Please let us know how you get on.

Without the vehicle details I'd imagine the one Richdoblo requires is part no 735416662 which has a retail price of £86.94+ vat.

(Rich be aware thats just an educated guess at the one you will need)

I'm hoping they'll change it under warranty as it's still just under 2 years old.

Can't see why they wouldn't do it

a mate of mine had similar problem..
yes , it's a stalk problem, solved after replacing of the stalk control
