GQ lights coming on/off

Post by CanberraMav »

I am having problems with my GQ with the headlights.

When you turn the switch on sometimes nothing happens. If you turn it off and on a few times they will eventually turn on.

When the lights are on and i put my highbeam on it wont turn off again......other times all the lights turn off and i have to flick the switch on and off to get them on again. (scary at night driving then suddenly no lights at all).

The other night i had the lights on and they wouldnt turn off.?? Again flicking the switch a few times they turned off.

Is this the switch? (the one with the indicators etc on it)

Could it be a stuffed relay??

Something else??

Thanks

I was thinking it was the switch.

Are they difficult to change?

This unfortunately is incorrect. I just bought one for the R31 and it is the wrong one. The actual arm is the same but the plug is different. Any one need a R31 switch???

The correct one to use is from a N13 Pulsar.
Part number:
niles
14506

The skyline uses 14504.
