dip beam mystery

Vagrent · Nov 25, 2012

Well looking at some of the treads, regarding dip beam issues, they are similar to my prob but slightly different.
My did beam has failed

It used to work

And after going through big puddle they worked constantly

Now they do fek all

Crappy multi meter says there is power to the left hand side of the fuse
of both L+R fuses.
Circuit test of fuse, says 'Beeep' so they is ok.
Put fuse in fuse holder, nowt

Direct feed from + terminal to right hand side of both fuses and I have lights

Thats all I need to fix for MOT:Cry:

Bad earth ?

Water caused earth points to contact as its a medium = light on, once dry light off

Checked all the connection and they is ok

dip works fine when I stick live wire straight on the powering side of the fuse.

Gonna buy some noo fooozes see if the fuse is at fault

Then I shall kick the tyres cause its about to fooking rain

pop front arches off and check connectors hiding in wing. just had same issue wi mine after fitting new headlights. why the hell land rover put the connectors behind there, i'll never figure! it's like they made the front loom too short and just decided to use it anyway.

I just got soaked

wire brushed the fuse holders, new glass fooozes, still no worky.

what I dunt understand is why do the lights work when I put a live straight on the RH fuse terminal?

There is voltage at the LH terminal, stick a fuse in...nowt...stuck allen key in there, few gentle sparks but no lights
