Headlights not working Bongo Diesel

Post by Jiujitero » Fri Mar 08, 2024 5:56 pm

Hello everyone. Hoping someone can shed some light. When i try to turn the headlights on the dashboard shows as if the high beams were on (as in the pic) regardless of me toggling between high & low beams. The only thing lights i get on are the side lights (as in picture). The relay and the 30amp lights fuse are both OK. Is there anything else I should check?

Thank you!

Check the three pin connectors to lights themselves, they are a plastic design which suffer badly after many years when the connector pins fail, overheat and then melt the plastic! There are replacement ones on eBay ceramic based which are much better! https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... +connector
