Hi all,
I've just bought a 1990 Panda 4x4 (in the US, no less!) and am working through the usual electrical gremlins to be expected form an old Italian masterpiece. Currently, I'm fighting a slightly odd issue - when I bought the car, the headlights didn't work at all. Replaced the switch, cleaned up the usual crusty grounds, and now they work great. In position 1 (one tick down from off), the parking lights, side lights, taillights, and instrument cluster lights all turn on perfectly. However, when I turn the headlights to position 2 on the switch, everything except the actual headlight beams turns off, which makes driving at night rather exciting. Looking inside the switch, and probing the wires with a multimeter it actually seems like that's the intention behind the design. Is this a normal phenomenon, do you think I could have the wrong switch, or is there something else I'm not smart enough to figure out?
Thanks in advance!
