Light Bar Electric Power Issues

SirCornedBeef · Dec 4, 2017

Hello awsome Landy Owners!

Need some help, my for light bar decides not to work, no matter what I seem to try. I got it wired in as seen in the picture and all fuses seem OK. I checked all bulbs and fuses and they are all well. I haven't taken my voltmeter to the thing quite yet as I doubt it is a normal wiring issue. Any advice on what I should check? Would be nice to get some light going again now that permanent midnight is around my corner in the far north.

Has it ever worked? If you've revered the wiring, it won't work with a LED light but it would with a conventional bulb. In the absence of any other test equipment, you could test it with one of your existing bulbs.

Hasn't worked since I got my Defender, the bulbs are regular halogen. I guess time to take the voltmeter out and backtrack through the stuff. Unfortunately I don't have a wiring diagram so I don't know exactly what is all the stuff I am looking at.

Might have been wired in series, so one bulb down they all down, hopefully its wired in parallel.

My bet its an earth issue based on how they wired each bulb!

Have you a relay fitted in the circuit and can you hear it clicking when you switch on the lights.
