Weird Electrics Problem

Post by si macc »

Have been fixing my fog light and adding in a new fog light switch with tell tale light. I may have messed something up as my head lights (no dipped but full beam work but won't lock on)/radio/wiper.

Here's the fault finding I've done so far:
- I've checked all the fuses
- The switch works as I've used a multimeter to check the resistance
- The bulbs work as the full beams are fine (though don't lock on when switching from dipped to full)

On page 39/40 of the 'Electrics - General' pdf I can see that there is a link between all these so will have a go tomorrow at taking some readings. I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and can point out something to look at.

Thanks in advance.

check you havent damaged the main h/lamp switch. and you have a switched supply to it when the ignition is on

the h/lamps only work when ignition on.

Sorry, I should've updated this. I traced the problem back to a faulty ignition switch, went to GSF to get a new one and voila!

Thanks for the reply!
