Lights

Post by ronnie »

Hi. My front near side headlight was very poorly lit so I stripped it cleaned all the terminals and it started working fine. Now my side lights have stopped working and the head light is back to a poor light. Any help gratefully received

This is an electrical problem, so would be better posted in that section. I expect it is an earthing issue. Faults before the headlamp would likely show up with localised heating. Side lights do not take so much power so heating at joints is less noticeable. A cheap multimeter, used appropriately, should make identifying high resistance connections easy.

Glad you got it sorted. It is usually a simple earthing fault.
