High beam problem!?!

(1/3) > >>

thepsychoman:
Hi all,

Got a problem on Mrs Psychoman's V8 MkI Disco - main beams work fine, but high beams have stopped working (switch to high beam and nothing changes - stays on main dipped beam).

"Flash" works fine - so obviously not a problem with the bulbs themselves.

So - thoughts? Haven't had much experience about Disco 'lectrics (much happier with old Landies and Rangies!) - but would a relay cause this or is it more likely to be a problem with the stalk switches? Is this a known fault? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks all.

I had same problem and found the earth wire was not strong enough so i atached a extra earth wire from each bulb connector to the battery.

Weird - not thought of that one - though not sure that explains why the high beam flashers still work?!? Or am I being a bit dim? :oops:

nigel purnell:
Try a test earth wire, because main beam uses more juice. As soon as i connected the extra earth i had no further probs.

gtomo2:
It will be your high beam switch the discos dont use relays for the lights so they have a habbit of melting the contacts on the stork switch. So it will be new storl time and a bit of a rewire to put a relay in for the high beam
