After delicately highlighting that my Wiper motor is on its way out by blowing a fuse during a down pour on the M40... If anyone spotted a silver Cerb diligently following a lorry northbound on the M40, it's because I could just about to see brake lights.

Anyway, my headlights have now failed. Or rather just the high beam, side works as does full beam but no Dip.

Having a look at the ECU's, the Dim/Dip ECU has a scorch mark on one connector ( on the orange relay side ). Now my question is, would that perhaps be causing the main beam to fail or would that be down to the lights switching unit? ( Which looks fine ).

Taken the lazy approach, both boxes on there way to http://pselectronicsolutions.co.uk to get tested and repaired. What to fix next! : )

Been quoted £60-£70 and a week for turnaround. I could crack out the soldering iron, but i would be doing "Tracey 7/5/97" & "Karen 24/4/97" a disservice with my crappy soldering.. : )

In fairness i have no way of testing other than with the car, and as i'm shortly getting a HID upgrade rather it was done & tested properly in case something goes wrong with that install.

The same guy did my dim / dip along with some of the other circuit boards. He'll sort out the original connectors that you can't find in Maplins too.

If you manage to find somewhere to get the correct replacement plug - please put it in the alternatives parts sticky. Some of us have been looking for years.
