Headlight prob solvered

[JH32]

If anyone's headlights are stuffing up ... like mine are .... try checking the actual switch on the dashboard.

I found that if my headlight goes out, and I tap the switch, the light comes back on again.

This made me a little happier as now I know where the problem lies.

Hope this helps someone else too!!

Was it your left one ?? my left one always ****s up i end up getting out and smacking it and it works

[Driver]

My left corner light does the same - i get out and smack it around and it will work

[JH32]

Yeah it's the left headlight.

I tried hitting it the light but that didnt work, so I hit the switch instead hahaha:bahaha:

It worked though!

Must be a dodgy connection in there!

BTW : Driver I saw you yesterday ... your zorst sounds nice

[Clint32]

a couple of times the dash lights went of when i was driving, i just switched the lights off and back on again and they worked. The headlights still worked though, so i have NFI what was going on, only happened twiced though.

[Driver]

Heh - I pulled the globe out of mine and fiddled around with it and it still does it

Tah - The zorst is loud from the inside tho, it drones out my stereo a bit

Did you have sum bad driver driving in a ford next to you, At the time you saw me?

[JH32]

yeah man that old guy ... what a stroker

beeping at me when he should have let me go in front at the merge! i was so angry i sat on the horn for ages hahaha:bahaha: :burnout:

Thank you, this helps a bit. Its mainly the left one. If I go over a spoon drain it may go out, but when I go over another one it comes back on??

[JH32]

Yeah same with mine dude.

Get that switch checked out.

At night time I can see that if turn the switch a certain distance it will turn the right headlight on first, and then a bit further and the left comes on.

i have the same problem, but i find if you turn the switch back abit from being on I can make the left headlight wink at you by turning it on and off weird

The switch for the headlights, if you look at the design is prone to ware and tear as it switches the full current for the headlights rather than using a relay. It took me 2 headlight switches and a lot swearing (and no driving at night) to figure it out.

[JH32]

Are the switches easy to take out and repair?

[teka]

I would check the dip switch first, as this what leads to the rotary switch to break (almost melt) by the look of the switch it could be possible to repair it depending on the extent of damage (how melted the contacts are)

This is amazing, i had a problem with my front left headlight and thinking it was just 1 of those niggling little things with a 7yr old car i just gave it a whack for the 3 or 4 times that it stopped working. The last time i whacked it i must have done it some good coz it hasn't stuffed up since.

Then i come on here and its a common problem.

SAU rocks.
