Technical headlight relay ?

[bravotony]

can someone please confirm whether or not there is a relay for the main dipped driving headlights on a 97 bravo hgt i've been told so many different stories cheers guys

 

[clock34]

i always thought there was. no way the entire power for the headlights runs through the stalk. no way at all.

did you test the bulb plugs for power? is it getting that far? if not follow them back and test every connection see where the power stops.

 

[bravotony]

all the wires seen wraped up in the main loom which seems impossible to see but i thought someone must know if there is a relay or not surely someone must have encountered this problem ?

According to service guide there is relay for dimmed lights.

 

[bravotony]

quick search endlessley shows its either the fuse box or the stalks. start with the stalks and check the power is going through them wen turned on. then check the fuse box as its less likely.

 

[bravotony]

i've already had a different set of stalks on and exactly same problem all fuses are good so my last guess is relay i just cant locate as i cant hear it working

 

[clock34]

the only places i know of relays are inside the glove box, and infront of the battery. one or two around the fuse box too.

 

[bravotony]

hey clock have managed to find them before but just cant work out which one it is

 

[clock34]

ill have a wee play this afternoon see which affect my lights mate! i beleive its linked to the internal fan too. yours still working?

 

[bravotony]

yeah heater fan working fine and that will be great thanks driving on fog lights aint good

 

[bravotony]

hey clock34 have you had chance to have a look ?

Tony,

I've been out to my Bravo (same year and model as yours), put the headlights on and I've pulled every relay out in turn and the headlights stayed on throughout :bang:

I tried the relays behind the steering wheel/dash, the ones behind the glovebox and the ones in front of the battery and nothing.

I can't even hear a relay click when I switch the lights on.

I hope this helps a little bit, I know it's not the answer you were looking for but it might help towards the fault finding

I'll keep looking after dinner and see what I can see!

Lee

[bravotony]

[Adrian Bravo]

Sorry I was wrong its number 5 in both diagrams

 

[bravotony]

am on my phone at the moment so is that pics of relay and location ? I'll get on a computer if it is

 

[Adrian Bravo]

It is yeah. looks like its behind the glove box or on the back of the the fusebox, or next to it.
