HELP .headlights staying on??

Post by carnut » Mon Apr 27, 2009 9:34 am

Right fellows,,, before i rip all the wireing out of the car!.. has any-one come across this proplem. took the sj for an mot, the tester turned the lights on, then turned them off.. But the headlights stayed on..all others went out. Ive relpaced the switch, but still stayaing on. if i disconect the switch plug (break the circit)lights go out.. the lamps are picking up a live from somewere?, is there a relay somewhere.
thanks for any suggestions; andy

hey up, sounds like your dim/dip unit has died and needs disconnecting, its in the passenger footwell and has cooling fins on, to be honest it isn't required and isnt fitted on later sj's

sorted the light proplem now!.. on the main connector block from the stalks, there was a wire carrying a live feed from the loom up to the stalks, indoing so giving the headlights a supply. im sure it was a green/yellow, but being really coloured blind, im not 100%. theres no dim/dip on my truck, but there was a odd locking relay buy the o/s headlight which is what through me.. Headlights staying on seems to be a commonish fault on zuks, hope this may help some others ..
