Leccy Question

[GreenLandy]

Ok got home from work last night to find Landy all alone with with just the headlights on..... On inspection all switches are in the off position....Brain sweats for a bit and after removing the fuses remamber that this can be caused by the dim/dip relay I fit the spare one I have kicking around and hey presto lights back to normal

Tonight TOH is crossing a main A road when kaput all lights dead . Luckily the lights worked for her if she held them on flash and she was only 2 minutes from home.
New dim/dip on order but what could cause this? Unit fitted had been kicking around my garage for a couple of years...........

Fitted the new unit and I still don't have head lights all fuses bulbs ect are fine. The unit works as when the side lights are on the headlights dim a little bit.
How do I bypass the dim dip relay?

That unit looks the same is mine from 1987 RR Classic.
Mine went wrong so you simply unplug it. There is no bypass requirement.

Pin 3 is constant 12v input.
Pin 5 is feed from side lights so it knows you have side lights on.
Pin 1 is oil pressure switch so it knows the engine is running.
Pin 4 is high beam. If you are on high beam it switches out the dim/dip.
Pin 2 is the output to the dip beams. This will be half power giving the 'Dim'.

As none of your lights pass through it you can see that it can simply be unplugged.

Thanks for that I've narrowed it down to a faulty switch hopefully this will cure it

Nnew switch fitted Lights still don't work . HELP

Stupid thought but is there a relay for the headlights? If so what's it look like and where will it be found?

Back to basics,
Do you have side lights?
Any headlights?
Headlight flash?
With the light switch on and dip selected, can you switch on the rear fog?
Are the fuses sound? There may be 4 fuses one for each headlight function.

Steve

yes side lights and dimmed head as per dim/dip relay.
Yes head light flash.
yes fog
yes good fuses


I'm stumped

Headlight stalk replaced and flash stalk was replaced 4 months ago

It's got to be the relay. Will go out looking for volts later on this week once work slows down.
