Headlight Problem

Post by mearnsy »

Both headlamps work and on main beam, the NS sidelight works but the offside doesnt. Ive checked the bulb and this works, there seems to be no power to the sidelight and i have also checked the spade end conections which seem fine.

Any ideas, electrics is not my strong point? :roll:

Does the side light work without the headlights on?
What about tail lights?
Side lights have a fuse for left side and a fuse for right.
Usually lights that dim / go out when other lights are switched on are down to bad earths.

only the ns sidelight works with the headlight on, i havent checked the tail lights.

i am thinking it is thw wire to the sidelight as the bulb is fine and ive tried the other bulb in it and that wont work.
