Headlamp problem

[Ipslore]

Hi,

 

A bit stumped. 1994 SS Crossflow. Wipac lamps. Turn on sidelight setting, both light up. Turn on main beam, only nearside lights not offside. Highbeam switch and flash both work fine. Have checked back of lamps for loose / broken connection but no joy - am I overlooking something obvious

 

Many thanks,

Andy

Check the earth and then follow the wires back from the n/s across the cross brace to the o/s.

 

Also try swopping the bulbs over and see if the problem moves with them.

dipped beam fillament in the offside has failed 😬

 

Although I must be missing the point here as this is far to easy

Think you're right but I was a tad more diplomatic. 😬

Less than perfect. But blessed anyway!

Chaps,

 

Thanks for your comments - having finally stripped both sets down and swapped them over the n/s headlight doesn't work when moved to o/s so I think it must be relay or switch or wiring but as least it ruled out the sealed beam unit

 

Thats my weekend sorted in the garage then 😬

 

Cheers,
