truckcab Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 1995 Defender 110 CSW, this problem has been covered before but I thought it might be useful to share how I resolved this problem on my vehicle. My dipped beam was not working so after checking the fuses, main lighting switch (S100), Relay-Dim Dip(R126), Relay-Headlamp(R123) I then checked the Switch-Column(R123) and found that the connection between C036-1 and C036-6 was faulty, this was due to the blue wire (C036-1) coming loose on the copper strip which has the contacts. Made a temporary solder and this solved the problem. Will fit a new switch as not 100% sure the solder will hold over time. See wiring diagram for 1997 Defender.

western Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Fit a set of relays to handle the higher current side of the switch/headlights, the main light switch only has to operate the relays then, one for dip & one for main beam.

GW8IZR Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hmm.. and hope that one fuse doesn't pop when your going round a busy roundabout or a corner on an unlit country lane. On the original wiring all of the filaments are individually fused for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
