Head lights not working

Post by 123mx3 »

I thought the bulbs had blown because the high beams still worked. So i tried driving with just hight beams but then suddenly those shut off and i could here a clicking sound from the passenger side foot well. the sound wouldnt stop if i turned the lights to off i had to leave them in the high beam position to stop the clicking.
any ideas?

thanks

Hi,

Sounds like you have a duff relay. There are three on the passenger side of your car in the engine bay between the fire wall and the suspension strutt. Could be one of those. I think there might be some behind the fuse box too, but not sure. Haven't pulled that bit out on mine yet! Have a look at the online manuals and see if you can find the one for the head lights. I'd start with the 3 in the engine bay though as they're easy to get to.
