Hello from Down Under.
We have a 1984 Bertone X1/9.
As seems common, the dashboard headlight switch has died.
As a temporary thing, I've replaced it with two switches. One for up and down on the lift motors, and another one for the lights on/off.
The up/down is fine, but the head lights do not illuminate - neither low or high beam.
Sidelights turn on, taillights turn on, lights-on indicator on the dash illuminates.
If I flick the high beam switch I get a click from the relays and the dash indicator comes on, but not the headlamps.
Flashing the lights with the column clicks the relays - but no lights
My tech knowledge is not great, and automotive electrics are a dark art to me.
I would appreciate any suggestions to try to get the car working again.
Thanks
Jim
