Headlights no power?

[Henry]

Hey all, slowly working down my mot list.


Stuck at the head lights

No front, side or rear lights when i turn them on, or pull the stalk back to flash Checked fuses and wiring seems to be ok. Going to have a poke around with the multi meter after tea, but any suggestions?

Does the rest of your wiring work : horn/wipers/dash fan

If not then maybe your fusible link has blown.
The headlights are on a different circuit to the tail lights so I would not expect both to fail.
Having said that it wouldn't run either though if that link in blown.

Hi

Everything else works

Got power coming to the stalk on the dash from the white lead. Is there anyway i can bridge it to see if its the switch that is at fault? Ill pick through that wiring diagram and see

I lost one headlight once. Turned out the wire had frayed a little ways in from the plug, so I spliced it over to the other light, as in the diagram, but with a new bi of wire taken from an old vacuum cleaner.

if you link the white to the black/yellow wire the side and tail lights should come on.

These lights are switched positive. The headlights are switched negative.

Ok, now i have side lights and rear lights when bridged.


Best clean the stalk up!

If you connect the red wire to earth high-beam should come on. (this will spark a little if just poking a bit of wire in)
