Headlight Problems

[4 door love]

hey

just bought myself a 32gts. the problem im having is that my highbeams are stuck on when i turn the lights on. i have no low beams. i cant use the indicator stick to turn them off. at the moment i have to use my parkers and fog lights as my low beams. i tried to test the relay in the engine bay fusebox and only 5 of the 6 connectors (dont know the technical term) had power going to them.

any help would be much appreciated

no dodgy wiring around the headlights that you can see??

failing that i would think the contacts in the stalk are broken and remaining on.

In R32s there is a little relay box ( Thats what I think its called ) somewhere in the steering column area.this is connected to the headlight switch itself. Quite often the contacts start bending from years of use ...I would be looking at this first..Go to an auto electrician, they will fix that problem quite easily

make sure you tell them about the "light control module" in the steering column, or just under the dash, otherwise they spend hours looking...

Happened to me only a month or so ago in my 33

thanks for the help guys. got adventurous and pulled the switch apart and it was broken. a bit of dodgy work(ie. screw in there to make it work).

Hi All,

I'm also having headlight problems, 1 on and 1 off etc.. Could someone describe in more depth where this relay box in the steering wheel can be found or even post a picture as I have been hunting for weeks on what could be causing me all the headaches

If anyone has a pic it'd be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Adrian

1-on-1-off is usually the switch. Been covered a squillion times.

Yep, I would have initially jumped to this conclusion also but when I imported the car 2-3 years ago I changed out the headlight switch then for a new one from Nissan. Cost me an arm and leg at the time for this pissy little switch ($300+ from memory).

Fixed the problem at the time but has now come back to haunt me..
