Headlight fault 2,

[bernhund]

My 2.5's nearside headlight went out last week and the full beam blue light came on and will not go off! Flick the stork for full beam on and the blue light remains on but the off side goes off completely. What's going on there then???

Pull the relay, pop the back off it and check if its closing properly.

Cheers, I'll try that out.

Also not uncommon for this to be poor wiring on the back of the fusebox / corroded contacts in the fusebox. Quite a lot of condensation formed on the pipes in that area.

Or the Clam connectors

Doh, the possibilities have just trebled! But, the clam has just been removed to fit a new rad and the car was outside long enough to get a nearside foot well full of water!!!

You're gonna love this. I changed the 2 headlight relays today, end result...one headlight on all the time even when not switched on at the stork!!!
