strange electrical problem

[Deacon]

i was driving home last night with all main beams on and for what ever reason i flicked them off

when i went to put the main beams on again (pushing the stalk towards the dash) ALL my lights cut out :eek:

however... dipp on its own works ......and main beam works when you flick the stalk towards you..( when you use the main beams to flash someone) :)

seems strange it happened so fast (one min working fine the next very much broken) :D

any ideas lads?

Dodgy (or intermittant) switch methinks, give it a coat in electrical contact cleaner & a :smash: :thumbs:

the stalk switch has probably burnt out its contacts. that has a lot to do with 12 volts going through the switch to the lights.. it's the way it's designed.

you need a new main beam switch me friend... they used to eat them for fun on mine.

pop it open and i bet you find the copper contacts have been burnt away and it stinks of fire :wack:
