paulnb57 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nipped into town with headlights on and en-route got a strange buzzing noise from Dash (?) area, stopped at the shops and noticed the headlights were still on Ignition off ….lights switch is off, no other lights lit, headlight on/off and dip-switch work as normal…..weird! Any suggestions? 1993 90 with dim dip Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Take the relay out and throw it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 There is a fairly simple way to bypass the dim dip it's only linking some of the wires on the plug. The dim dip it's self is behind the binicle bolted to the bulkhead it has cooling fins on it they are rubbish don't work for long and no longer required.

paulnb57 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Cheers! Wheres the relay? The finned thing is under the wing (drivers) side. Need a temp fix for getting to work tomorrow, although I have a battery cut off…….. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 pink relay on yours, pull it out & join the 2 red/blue wires with a jumper lead, normal lighting will be restored. the resistor under the wing can stay in place, it won't have any affect. relay lives behind dash in right front corner, you'll have to extract the instrument pack from the dash to get a hand in to remove the relay & fit the jumper wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulnb57 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sorted with a short lead and two spade terminals connecting the two red/blue wires. Thanks all! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
