disco1 headlights stuck on

<< < (3/4) > >>

doda456:
according to my haynes book of lies there is no dim/dip relay listed on a 200tdi,

but there is a dim/dim unit in wiring diagrams for pre 95 models  :shocked:

so its a according to the diagram its  relay with 5 wires, they are:

a white/brown wire from the oil sensor
a red from main lighting switch
a blue and red from the dip dim switch and also to the bulbs
a blue and white to stalk to the main beam
and a bown wire from the stalk and from the fusebox

hope this helps identify it a bit

stretchy:

I found the same page as you and see the dim dip realy in the diagram locating it is another story. I took all the relays I could fined out yesterday and they was still on, Its got to dark and wet now to see anything.

ChrisW70:
No relays on the headlamps on a 200 - direct supply from battery to switch to headlamp (common fault is the switch on the stalk burning out due to the load going through it).
If it  has dim-dip this is usually mounted on the bulkhead in the engine bay on passenger side with a power resistor - looks like a gold block a bit smaller than a lighter. This can be unplugged as there is no legal requirement for this anymore.

hi there had the same problem with mine it was the stalk it had fell apart inside which was causing the lights 2 stay on
