Melted switch or blown relay? Testing????

Post by KarlT »

Hi.
Long story but I had to drive holding on the high beam flash feature on my stork switch.
After 20 minutes this stopped working.
I've blown or burnt either the switch or the relay.
How can I check which before ordering bits?
Thanks guys.

Its easy to remove the main light switch and then check it visually. I would start there as it can melt easily.

no relays on lights as standard ( as said in previous post) , only if somebody added them, you could go looking for non standard wiring.

did you change ignition switch?

Have you fitted your spot lights yet? How did you wire them?
