headlight flash
Mot is due in a couple of weeks. High beam & low beam work ok but I have no flash. If I want to flash my lights . Is this normal or is it time for a replacement light stalk?

Re: headlight flash
You should have a headlamp flash function but it is on a different power supply from the headlights, check you have 12v at the red/yellow wire at the dip switch otherwise the switch is faulty.

Re: headlight flash
Is this an MOT failure? Mine passed with this problem last year, but I have heard there are new regs now.
Are we going on anything else?

No not req for the MOT, but the van was designed with the function.

Re: headlight flash
My mate's mother always used to try to flash when she saw me - trouble was every time she did so the wipers went!

Re: headlight flash
Thanks for your help. Will check voltage on switch wires tomorrow.
