afrolite Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 My landy has just passed its MOT, but when i got it it home for some reason, when u hit full beam the main lights turn off!!! not the fuse as i can hear them clicking when i hit the switch dash light works. any ideas???? there was a small amount of smoke coming from the fuse box when i tapped a lose cable back in.

western Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'd be looking more closely at that cable & maybe fit a new light switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hmmm smoke is not good... I would disconnect your battery and gingerly take the fuse box off the bulkhead and check out all the wireing round there. The old fusebox was really delapadated on my 86 loom, the plastic on the box and wires seems to perish over time, I replaced it for a blade type, some Durite 12 slot racks go into it quite well without too much hassle. As regards your problem, I seem to remeber mine did this before I fixed it all up and I think it was a terminal on the switch that wasn't connecting properly, i found it and soldered it up. I would start at the switch end. they are quite simple circuits to work out if you have a small multimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
