Technical Which fuse for headlights?

[jamied92]

Hey again guys,

After having a recent issue with my headlights, I thought after replacing both bulbs and having no issues, the problem had gone away. Unfortunately that is now not the case.

I don't seem to be getting any power to my low beam headlights, although high beam works perfectly fine. The low beam I noticed yesterday turning themselves off and on again as I was driving down the motorway, but now I can't seem to get them on at all. This really isn't ideal as I drive 20 miles to work early hours in the morning.

My first port of call is the fuse box, although I understand both headlights have a different fuse but I thought it was worth a try anyway. Unfortunately, the diagram for my fuse box doesn't seem to match my manual, unless I am doing something wrong.

Can anybody confirm from the picture of the engine fuse box I have attached, which fuses control the low beam headlights? My manual tells me F14 and F15 10A, but the fuses in those positions are 30A from what I can see.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Closest handbook I have for your 56 GP is 2007. That says fuses 38, 39, 40 and 41 are for the headlamps.

Perhaps you have the wrong handbook?

not sure they've worked through the GUIDES and FAQ's
regarding water in fusebox,

sounds more like a relay issue to me - with their lights powering independant of switchgear

That manual is different from mine. I've been using the manual for the past four years or so and not come across any discrepancies until now.

Charlie, thanks I will have a go at removing the relay box and setting it to dry for a day or so and get back to you with an update.

Regards

There are various years handbooks for the GP in the forum downloads section here: https://www.fiatforum.com/downloads.php?categoryid=20

Could you advise which relay controls the headlights to see if that is the issue before I go about removing the fuse box?
