KIPVW 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Only have one working headlight at the moment so tried a new bulb and still no joy, so thought i'd try a spare headlight to check the unit was ok but it was still not working so am guessing it could be a wiring issue. Any ideas anyone before i start delving in lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Uprated headlight loom? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted October 22, 2012 Fuse ? not sure if they have a fuse for each headlamp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Get a multimeter on it, Kip! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Uprated headlight loom? That was my first thought too. I seem to recall only one light works if it doesn't have power or one of the connectionts isn't seated right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_GTI 10 Posted October 22, 2012 Get a voltmeter on it. I'd say either it's a fuse or the switch. Occasionally only one of mine comes on but if i push the headlight switch a bit harder both of them do! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted October 22, 2012 No loom on it chaps although i have a DG one to fit at some point. Switch Hmmm may look into that one first then as it wouldn't surprise me with the age of it. Would a dodgy swith allow the other to come on though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted October 22, 2012 You could always try a liberal spray of WD40 on the switch. That sorted out my dash illumination not coming on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Try the fuses, I think they are individually fused, or try a different relay as they can stick sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbradley98 0 Posted October 22, 2012 Found on mine the power wiring was faulty to the offside unit, so just put in a link to the power line on the nearside light as a temp measure until I fitted an updated loom, which has no need for the power line on the offside original wiring...

KIPVW 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Tried a brand new switch and liberal WD40 but still same, thinking more like a wiring issue so will look around the loom to see oif it's damaged anywhere, Bugger! Last thing i wanted to be faffing about with on my day off tomorrow, ride first though hopefully :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KUR2Y 0 Posted October 24, 2012 Hi KIP, I recently helped a guy out who got a loom off me. He had no voltage on the nearside light (fuse was good and so was the earth) and we fixed it by taking the power off the offside for his loom, you know the one he bought off me,lol. Any way you should be able to get round that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 24, 2012 Kip - have you checked fuses??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted October 24, 2012 Hi chaps, Well thought I'd try easiest options first so checked the fuses and replaced the headlight ones anyway then wd'd the connector block and with a good bit of wiggling it came back on sd of guess the contacts were slightly oxidised. All good for now. Thanks all ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
