early headlight switch

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Don't seem to be able to get headlights to work. Fuses, bulbs etc seem ok. Side lights work and full beam. Would a broken switch fix it?

Ok cool, no worries. Ýes they only look different, they are interchangeable.

 

I understand about keeping an early car original. Hope you find one mate.

I have a used early switch, but I suspect you have a faulty column switch

is that in the switch itself?

 

The multifunction dip / main beam switch (indicators too) on the steering column behind the steering wheel. The headlight switch selects side lights or main / dipped beam, but the column switch selects between main or dipped beam (and flash).

 

Pull the switch back for main beam, pull the switch back for dipped beam (not like most cars where you push forward for main, pull back for dipped (and back again for flash).

 

I've had phone charger / sat nav cables jam the mechanism before now leading to a bit of a panic
