Gents,
I have dodgy headlamps (high-beam) which are the last thing I need to fix before the beast can go to meet Doctor Death, the MOT man with a fighting chance of making it out the other side.
If I pull the stalk for "flash" (or press/click the stalk for high beam) the little blue light on the dash comes on.. but not the lights themselves.
But if I power the headlights relay directly, the high beams come on.
I've tried a different relay and that acts the same... so the headlights relay is probably okay. Fuses 14 & 15 are okay.
So.... between the relay and the lights all is well... and between the stalk and the instrument console, all is well... but the high beams / relay don't get the message from the stalk.
Where's the weakest link? I just don't get juice at the relay, which would solve it.
Can the problem be the headlamps/indicator stalk?
The blue light comes on, so it's doing *something* but is the blue light in fact a red herring?
Could the stalk be the culprit but still power the blue light?
Any other illuminating suggestions?
Grazie.
