  1. So - only front left light and back right sidelight are on when I turn on the Headlights, and the headlight relay is clicking like its really excited.

    Diagnosis please!

    Was working fine a couple of days ago.

    First thing I'd do is check the earth connections

    Undo whatever it was you did between it working and not working. What did you do?:)

  4. that is my mantra, got a problem?....go back to the last thing you touched..............................

    My money's on an earth, which is why the relay is all excited.

    I’d check the earths too but it would be nice to know if there has been some work carried out.
     
  6. I'm not undoing anything

    All of the above, plus check for evidence of water leaking from the windscreen onto the fusebox / relays. It's not uncommon to find the relay full of water..
     
  8. Are all your fuses OK. Left tail light has a separate fuse to the other sides and number plate. Also check the light switch. Waggling it sometimes makes my relay go crazy, and I had one that was worn and had big voltage losses affecting the headlights.
     
  9. +1 water or poor earth.

  10. All fuses fine. All bone dry
    All I did was finally screw the fuse box where it should be - so I guess this has caused it.
    Gave up as it was too cold without the heater on, and I’ve still not warmed up from being outside all day sat / sunday.

    Will check when it’s daylight at some point.
    Thanks all
