Righto, recommissioning continues and I have hit a snag, I must say it has totally stumped me..
Headlights - the Marbella has a three way rocker switch on the dash, coupled with a stalk on the steering cowl for high/low beams.
Here is what the Marbella handbook states what "SHOULD" happen:
Dash switch UP =Parking lights, operate with ignition on or off
Dash switch MIDDLE = all OFF
Dash switch DOWN = side lights ON, dipped beam ON, changeable to full beam with stalk.
Now, here is what DOES happen (this is with the engine running):
Dash switch UP = no lighting at all
Dash switch MIDDLE = Dipped Mains ON (H1 bulb) but like candles in a jar, sidelights OFF, steering stalk has no effect
Dash switch DOWN = sidelight bulbs ON, Dipped Mains OFF, Full beam stalk activates full beams (nice and bright), Dashboard is illuminated.
These symptoms are present with both the original and a replacement steering stalk assembly. I have checked the connector blocks under the steering wheel (pic) all look visually very good. All fuses are intact and good.
Does anyone recognise these symptoms??? This is doing my swede in as the car is now otherwise ready to MOT after many years off the road..
Many thanks, Tom
