Hi there
Any advice on what i could have possibly done wrong please
Whilst finishing the joyfull task of new heater blower motor, switches & resistors ive lost main beam & screenwashers
Driving me mad!
Everything else works
Does the hi beam run thru a relay?
Any hints and tips how to fault diagnose my "cock" up please
Thanks as always, chris

High beam DOES use a relay despite what others have said in the past but more to the point main and washers operate through steering column. Plugs pushed home?l

Re: Any wiring tech gurus? Driving me mad
What year/type is the van?
Are the wipers working?
Has main beam gone too or just high beam?
Also - do the high beams work if you pull and hold the stalk?

Re: Any wiring tech gurus? Driving me mad
I assume your new blower motor works ok?
It sounds like it might be grounds that have dislodged but it's not obvious?
Might be worth pulling connector off a headlight and seeing if;
a) you have 12v getting to it on main beam
b) you have a good ground connection on there
That would at least narrow down the culprit to power or ground??
