GQ Headlight / Parkers / High Beam Problem

Post by BIG GQ »

Let me start off by saying I'm about as spastic as they come when it comes to auto electrical.

My GQ has decided to through the following faults at me

Both headlights work fine on low beam
No RHS headlight on high beam (no is not a globe fault)
Dash lights work fine
Tail lights work fine
All fuses are good

IT IS JUST THE PARKERS AND RHS HIGH BEAM THAT DON'T WORK..........

Help a spastic out brother :oops:
Cheers

they run separate left and right circuits for the high and low beam and separate tail dash and park light circuits

i'd check for power at teh bulbs then for power out of the combination switch, I had one do strange stuff and the switch was full of crap

Ok well before posting this last night I changed the bulb for a brand new one and that didn't work so then I just checked all fuses, and unplugged them connections and plugged em back in with no result so then I posted this question.

And yes High Beam indicator on dash is working

Will look at it some more on the weekend

Just another thing to check.

Mine had a similar problem and found it the pissy earth wire on each side which had caused the plug connector to melt.

Changed the connector and new larger earth on each side.
