Headlight,dip/full beam switch/ fault

Forum: 

Hi All

Problem with the head light dip/full beam switch.(I think ???) Been for a MOT today and on test no full beam,(no power at all to headlight bulbs) checked at home and it was working, but then found after multiple dip/full changes there was the occasion when the lights failed.

Any suggestions out there, is it possible to remove the switch assembly and clean the contacts ( could they be pitted/corroded). I have given it a shot of WD40, but the problem is still there. Any one have a switch assembly for sale.

im sure it will just be a case of removing the trim around the steering colum and looking at it from there.

you should probabaly have a look at the fuse too. i would just replace the switch/stalk, wont cost much. there really isnt much else it can be if everything else is working fine Biggrin

hi ews

as paul says but it is also worth checking the headlamp main relay and if fitted the dim-dip lamp resister
with the main headlamp relay ensure that there continuity between teminals 1-2, 2-3, 3-1
good luck
