Headlight issue
Discussion
Got a weird one here.
Chim 500 with the buttons for lights rather than the twist knob.
Dip beam works, pull the stalk for flash works, but push for main beam doesn't work. Dip beam also doesn't go off when the stalk is pushed for main beam.
Tried a different stalk, same problem persists.
The car has had a HID conversion done, so I disconnected that and put some H4 bulbs back in as the bulb connectors were still all present and correct, but the problem was the same.
When using HIDs, you push the stalk for Main beam, and the HID flashes briefly but stays on dip. With the pull to flash, it switches to what looks more like main beam.
With H4s, push for main just doesn't do anything.
The main beam relay is clicking when you push the stalk, but there's no voltage at the bulb.
Main beam fuse (or what I assume to be the main beam fuse from the fuse diagram) is ok too.
Really got me stumped this one, I'm coming to the conclusion that whoever did the HID conversion has done something to the wiring somewhere.
Is there a separate fuses for the main beam supply and the flasher supply? If so any idea which they'll be, owners manual fusebox diagram is as much use as a chocolate teapot.
Cheers
