RE: Headlights stopped working!

Thanks Chris I had a quick look at your page and will study it more when I have the time. Rewiring might be the only option left as the current wiring on my car is pretty dodgy. Had a look around your site too, havent seen it for awhile, and its coming along really well. :) The Esky looks great.   Also thanks James and Mark - I had a look at the earth on the bonnet release thingy and all looked well there, so I am guessing it must be something else.   - Charlotte.       From: Chris Howard Subject: RE: Headlights stopped working! Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 05:51:40 -0700 Your relay has probably crapped out I reckon. The Datto headlights use a strange switched earth instead of switched positive arrangement. Have a read of my headlight page, it might shed some light on the matter (pardon the pun :) http://turbovan.com/wiring.shtml Cheers, Chris Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://turbovan.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Charlotte Sent: Thursday, 18 April 2002 10:47 PM To: Ozdat Discussion List Subject: Headlights stopped working! Hi All, We are having a few problems with the headlights in my 1600 and were hoping that there might be a 'quick fix' of some kind. They were working perfectly then suddenly after a trip to the coast they decided to stop working completely - thats all 4 of them. We have checked the wires going to the lights and there seems to be power to all of them - 3 pins in the outer lights and 2 pins in the inner lights - shouldnt there be no power to at least 1 of these to allow for an earth? We have checked the earth on the bonnet puller and it's all still connected nice and tight. All the other lights work - indicators, parkers, tail-lights etc. If you earth one of the wires to the drivers side lights they come on but this of course means that the switch doesnt work - it bypasses it - but we can see from this that none of the bulbs are blown. Help!!! We are completely stumped on this one, really hoping someone can help.
