Cheers.

I think theres only one relay for the high beams so if its buggered neither high beam would come on.

My problem is only the left low beam comes on. All bulbs are fine and both high beams work.

Still can't find the relay though...

check the plug on the back of the light, it may have slid out of the crimp

yer i put the test light through the high beam wire, and the test light comes on really dull. I might just get a set of hi/lo HID kit as they only use one H4 to trigger the high and low beam, $160 on ebay :shock:

There is two contacts on the switch for left and right headlights. The same thing happened on my mav and also my terrano (same setup)...

You need to take off the plastic cover when you remove the stalk and as I said just put some sand paper between the contacts and move it around to try and clean them... DONT BEND THE CONTACTS... The stalk comes off easy, just remove the coloum surround and then there is two screws and one plug and its out... easy as...

Cleaning the terminals in the stalk/switch fixed it.

Thanks for the help.
