Electrical problem
sky12042 - 29/4/14 at 03:15 PM

I'm a complete novice when it comes to electrics and I have a problem, lights, when I switch onto side lights all ok, then on dipped on the near side light I get both high and low beam and side light goes dim, if I flick onto high beam I still get high and low with a dim side light.

Checked the bulb all ok there, no wires I can see have come loose, any idea. I'm guessing some sort of short but where do I look.

Cheers for any help

Andy.

Sounds like a bad earth to me. Try earthing the lights directly back to the battery negative. f they work fine then the earth is your culprit.

Ok on checking the earth I've moved the wires around the earth and it came on correctly, even when the earth was disconnected it still worked but if I moved the cables a little bit it went bad again, I'm going to have to undo the wiring a little to investigate.

Cheers for the help
