odd wiring fault

Elefantman · Sep 6, 2011

evening all,
the 110's been on the road for a few weeks now and I've hit my first wiring fault.
sometimes when I turn the headlights on the p/side headlight and side light dont come on but the p/side indicators light up!
It seems to do it in the wet so I'm susupecting a fault.. and im suspecting it's behind that headlight? maybe the earth?
anyone else had this issue? or am I unique? lol

dodgy earths throw up all sorts of weird stuff as it tries to find some sort of circuit.......thats where I'd start looking

Hi, it does sound like a classic bad earth. Check the connections behind the light and side light earth

I had the situation that when I pressed the brakes the headlights came on.

Turned out that was a dodgy earth- no idea how it was fixed - took it to the garage and got it fixed there.

helpful post, or what

I felt it was important to connect with elefantman and let him know I shared a bond, that were were at one, I have walked his path

would have been a damn sight more useful if I'd also told him how to fix it too

yes but you got a lift for the last part of the path not walking all the way only half counts

*whispers* tell him to use a spare length of wire and connect between earth contacts on bulb and a good clean earth point on chassis or engine.........

-only half a bond with elefantman

- unless of course he is rampantly incompetent too and takes his to a garage to be fixed in which case we will be again at one

Two numpties fixing a land rover with lashings of cake

you could have a theme where while the crew tore the landy apart and repaired it you cooked a meal- could be a whole new tv series

Nigella or is it more the hairy bikers or two fat ladies?

do you want a good shag or are you studying euphemisms

Elefantman · Sep 8, 2011

Well thanks for all the advice

Well.. today my landy has returned to normal.. all lights work as they are supposed to! But I'm still going to investigate behind the headlight.. might even run a special earth for the headlight direct to the chassis just to be sure! lol

Oh.. And on the subject of carrot cake... best is always nice and moist!

Station House · Sep 9, 2011

Almost certainly confirms an earth fault

Could be something got wet and has now dried out (trying to get away from the moist theme but failing

)

Worth giving the headlamp connectors and wing earths a liberal dousing with WD40 if you don't want to take them all apart for now - might just keep the damp at bay
