Bongo Fury

Hi both my head lights have stoped working side lights work and flashers work (full Beam) which fuse should i be checking?

Thanks Alex

3rd fuse on (30 amp) under the bonnet is the head lights, the fuse box with just 4 fuses in

Ok tried new fuses and new bulbs.... Still not working!!! Help I'm supposed to be tourring Scotland next week!


Thanks Alex

Hmmn, possible relay problem, there located around the battery, either behind or at the side of the inner wing, passenger side.

Try swapping them around to see if it fixes the lights, then you know it is the relay

H270 relays if I mind right, Most under the bonnet are the same so as waycar8 says swap around to test.

Location of some of my relays..... they can vary bongo to bongo.


Relay out of it's cover.



To remove relay, you just slide/pull it down.

ok thanks everyone it is the relay! i swaped them over and head lights worked. but... i've tried everywhere to get a new one to no avail. does antone know where to get one? thanks.

Alex

Not sure but they could be a standard type of relay, take it to Halfords or a proper motor factor/auto electrical shop?

you hould be able to get a replacement from any good car shop or you could email the breaker who advertie on here or email people on ebay who are breaking bongos

Thanks ive tried every motor parts shop in coventry. even jap auto spares. he has to order one in up to 1 week wait.
halfords said ill have to go to the main dealer.

Thanks Again Alex

Now don't you go worrying yourself now it'l be hardly dark

might be worth looking on ebay they have been on there in the past. Colin

Hi Alex86
I've got the same problem but for my factory fit front fogs and after checking the fuses etc and switch I think it must be the H270 relay as posted in previous topics, however it doesn't seem that easy to get hold of one, several phone calls this pm to no avail..if you get any luck in locating a supplier please update?

Many thanks - believe it or not there was fog in Devon yesterday (albeit on Dartmoor) hence I discovered that they didnt work!

Thanks Everyone i finaly got a new relay off ebay from america £4.70 plus £3.00 postage. i got it the day before i went on my tour of scotland...just in the nick of time. I didnt use my head lights for the whole two weeks. i was on a campsite every night before dark.

Thanks Alex

Hi Alex glad you got it sorted and the price was fair, when I saw them previously they were dearer than that, Colin

It seems stupid,even to me as an ex bobby that whilst a motor vehicle is being driven on the road,all lights fitted to the vehicle must be in working order,even in daylight. A constable in uniform can stop any vehicle and check your lights,even in the day. If they don't work, its just cost you £30! This even means lights that you may have fitted yourself,i.e fog lights,spotlights etc. Be afraid,be very afraid...
