Heres one for you pro's...

Post by benross »

Hi all, ia was after your help in solving a very tedious problem im having difficulty sorting.

Here we go.....

Firstly, when my high beams are OFF, the blue warning light is ON.
when my high beams are ON, the blue warning lamp is OFF!
(In other words its the wrong way around!) Im guessing either the switch or a relay is to blame but how do i fix it?!

Secondly, and this ones a bit more complicated to explain...

When i start my engine, then put my light on, the dash illumination does not work. Then IF I LEAVE MY LIGHT SWITCH ON, but turn my ignition OFF the dash illumination comes on!!

When i just turn the kight switch on without the engine running or ignition on the dash lights dont work either. So the only time the dash light work is when ive had the bus running with the lights on and then turned off the igniton leaving the lights on!!!

Weird eh?!

Anyone shed any light (no punn intended) on this tedious problem for me?!!

Thanks in advance guys.

Ben
