Headlights

hobbit:
With the wiring diagram, just back track the feed from the fuse, not sure on the layout on these motors, if the fuse is not getting the power, and the switch is after the fuse, you know you have to look closer to where the power is taken off for the auxiliars, or a burnt wire or connection somewhere, good luck, always good fun

hobbit:
Did you suss the problem then Phil?

Priglet:
Not yet, still working on it.

At least it's summer so I don't need them much :P

pirate king:
have you got bullet connectors in the loom?
sometimes you can lose contact on the earth.
That one has messed me about a few times.
Or try the column switches, they are really important to the circuit, in a weird illogical Solihull kind of way.
I had loads of problems with my headlights which I eventually traced to a lose rivet on the contacts of the column switches.
Hope this helps

Priglet:
Thanks for everyone's comments. The problem's sorted now although I did have to resort to an auto electrician as I couldn't find the problem.

It seems that water had got behind the dashboard which didn't do a lot of favours to the electrical components tucked away there. Something made by lucas in a nice pink case and 7 pins, possibly the voltage transformer, had corroded as a result which knocked the lights out.
