I have lost main beam, although have dipped on front headlights. I seem to remember i had a blue light on the annunciator panel on the console and I dont have that either (probably connected fault). I have checked the bulb, seem ok, but do not know the number or location of the fuses associated with the lights. Help!!

Look in your owners handbook pedroman this should tell you which fuse it is and what size to replace it with should be replaced with like for like tho.
Providing its the same on your newer model as my 96 500, check fuse No. 20 which should be 15amp plus you will need to check the main beam relay hasn't wiggled loose.
Good luck.

I think the wipers run on the same fuse don't they? If your wipers have stopped working as well then there's your answer

maybe

Worth checking the in line connectors that are a few inches from each lamp. Had no Main Beam on mine when I first got it home(which was a bit odd as it had a new MOT from the dealer). It turned out to be corroded high resistance joints on both sides.
