Head lights

[OllieSJ]

i know this has been asked before but why does my sj keep the lights on its a 410 dont know if its spanish or jap

[turbo-tom]

There is an electrical section for this!!!

[OllieSJ]

can u get me a link ??

[mk1joe]

you can find the electrical section in the forum categories...

but what is the actual question???

when you turn the light switch to dip beam it "keeps the lights on" so you can see things when your driving at night.

you mean the lights stay on when you turn the ignition off?

[Jordi]

He means it should have been posted in the electrical section Ollie, not the bar.

More details of the fault required.

Does it turn off on the stalk?

[OllieSJ]

Right it doesnt turn off on the stalk !!! doesnt turn off when i take the keys out but think its supposed to do that as all my sj's have done so and is it that big a deal that its in the bar

[Jordi]

None of my SJs turn off on the key.

Had a flat battery a couple of times when i forgot to turn them off.

[OllieSJ]

yer i know that its just i can turn them off on the stalk they just go seriously dim that it only way is to disconnect the battery.

I moved the thread to where its meant to be as it is an electrical question.

You either have an earth problem somewhere or the dim dip unit is playing up.

Ahhh, i get ya. Sounds like they are shorting out somewhere or could be a knackered stalk.

Sounds like investigation with a multimeter required to check the wiring and see where the live is coming from.

Scottie already posted. But i'd already started typing my response out. Shame to waste it.
