dubnut 10 Posted January 15, 2012 Hi all. My headlight problem still persists.... When i start the car and put lights on all is fine.. When i accelerate in gear the fuse blows for drivers headlight..???? Haven't done anything to wiring or damaged any cables just started on its own accord.. First it started by the foglights flashing under acceleration..so i took fuse out any ideas anyone...starting to do my head in and my love for the car is truly being tested......arrrrgh ---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ---------- Its a 16v by the way... Have just read about alt probs could it be this... While looking at it today . i replaced fuse and was flicking lights on with just the ignition on..only for no more than a hour. Went to start and battery was almost dead..is it linked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wullie 1 Posted January 15, 2012 Just a guess as I'm not the best with electrics. It sounds as if a wire is shorting out to earth somewhere. As it is happening when you accelerate it suggests a wire is moving when you do it. Hard bit, finding which wire it is. I would start by clearing the area, i.e. move the airbox out of the way, then, with the headlights on give each wire exposed, especially headlight related a visual inspection followed by a good push, pull, wiggle and see if you can recreate the problem. Not especially the most technical way to go about it but may help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
