300tdi: headlight fault diagnosis


Recommended Posts

I know this is a topical question and the symptoms are side light and full main beam work fine. But switching small light switch stalk to have the headlights on results in nothing - even the dash indicator for the lights goes out

I know

1/ its not the Pink relay behind the dash

2/ its not the relay in tge fuse panel behind the gearstick

3/all fuses good

So its down to either the long indicator stalk or the smaller light switch stalk ?

I presume its more likely to be the indicator stalk rather than the sidelight/headlight switch but how can I tell which is duff ?

Thanks in advance for your counsel

the main light switch [short stalk on left of column surround] is side/tail lights & dipped headlights, as your side/tail lights go out & dipped headlights don't come on, then it's has to be a faulty main light switch, the indicator/horn/main beam from dip & flash stalk is working & doesn't switch the normal dipped headlights on or off.
