Help With Dipped/full Headlights


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi I'm hoping someone will be able to help or has encountered the same problem before.

Initially I had a problem with the indicator stalk that resulted in the indicators failing to work and a noisy buzzing sound coming from the stalk area. They would only work if I cancelled them and turned them on again. I decided to try and fix this; so I took the steering wheel off as well as the surrounding shroud to investigate.

There was a small piece of metal secured with 2 screws that sits at the end of the stalk and plays a part in the dipped/main beam process (the ball bearing from the stalk "sits" in this piece of metal and allows you to choose dipped or main beam)

I cleaned up the stalk and when I fitted everything back and turned on the lights, only the full beam worked. I then removed everything again and realised I had fitted this piece of metal the wrong way round. So I adjusted this and fixed it all back. Now the beam of the headlights 'jumps' between the dipped and full although I can override this by holding the stalk in a certain position (NOT ideal when driving).

I think I have either fitted it back wrong or I may have lost a vital part of the mechanism which fits to the piece of metal. I was hoping that someone on here may have a picture of what this should look like so I can work from that or know how to fix this. I have looked for a picture online and cant find one and the pictures in the Haynes manual seem to be of a later model and are different to mine.

Any help would be great, sorry if this doesn't make mush sense!

Thanks
