Title: Lights out
Post by: Anonymous on November 18, 2004, 11:12:12 PM
All my front (so I must presume rear as well) lights have taken to going off at random


Flick the on/off switch and they come back on
Presume phone to0 Lighthouse for new switch but any other views??

Got extra spots on their own switch which seem OK

Headlights go out and sometimes sidelights
Wriggling on/off switch gets them working again

sounds like the switch over heating its fairly common normaly any othe lamps wired up to them makes them worse evan on a relay but yours sounds like it is just tired :smt028

Stew

did you ever do the mod with the dinkywinkaz to give US style running lights?

Since Broxhead mine have been earthing out which caused my headlights to flash on and off.  I wondered why everyone on the M27 was pulling over and letting me through must have thought I was mud camoflauged plain clothes cop car :D  :D

Have disconnected the running lights and have my headlights back to normal just need to find the fuse for my sidelights and replace.

Stew

spent a while under the XJ's dash tracing down the fuse for the sidelights, what a brilliant place to put the fuse board :shock:

My manual doesn't seem to match my fuses either so had to resort to pulling each one till I found the blown fuse.

Now I have sidelights back.

And BUBBA said " let there be light (but only after you fit this dip switch)!" and there was light and it was a good light, waking up squirrels and foxes, and yearning to be powered by a v8 but thats another story!
