Weird Problem
Hi All,
Got a weird problem with my electrics.
I've got a PWS loom and am using a Bright6 for the warning lights, my problem is the Full beam warning light comes on when you put the dipped
beam on, and off when you switch the full beam on, sounds simple, but I can't figure what I've done wrong (not to mention I'm sure I
checked it when I first installed it, and it was working ok). All the other warning lights do what they should do, just the Full beam one thats
wrong.
I must admit I haven't really looked too deeply into it, so it may be something stupid, but any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott

Sounds like you might have swopped your wires going to the headlight globes.

I don't think so, as the stalk position (sierra stalks) are correct and the lights are correct (eg push stalk forward full beam comes on, but
the warning light goes out), It will even flash the full beam if you pull the stalk towards you.

Had the same with my loom. Think I trace it to the headlight relays , The wires from the dip switch were fitted into the wrong relay mounting. Worth
a look as I know at least one other builder had the same problem? Can't remember the colour of the wires involved but easy to check out . Also
had a similar problem with the indicators , just a couple of wires to change over . HTH

Have a feeling I had the same too.
I swopped them over and it was ok.
Cheers,
James

Its one of two things as far as i can see.
either youve got the wrong cables going to the lights or the relays are incorrectly wired. I found it confusing when I did mine as there are a couple
of differeent types of relays and they each get wired slightly differently and I also had to bear in mind that when youre looking at the relay pins
you need to invert the wiring in the block.

Same here too but worst,exactly as mentioned the relay was wired for 83bg switch gear an di was using the newer 87bg which is a switched earth not a
switched live (my fault)
But
The relay (new) was faulty as was the sierra switchgear/stalk so i was having a bit of a moment in the garage
Luckily our build guru (theconrodkid) came round and in true mechanic style started tapping the relay once wired properly.

Managed to Fix it eventually.
I had made two mistakes, firstly I had changed the wires going to the lights (i.e had the yellow as full and the white as dipped) and secondly I had
wired the stalk up wrong too.
Teach me to so cocky.
