1934 1103 ELECTRICAL PROBLEM

Posted by Terry Cantelo On 2011/12/30 10:05:19

Happy new year all,

I've developed an electrical problem on my lights which blows the drivers side (Left hand drive) headlamp bulb. On checking the wiring in the lamps there are four cables on the right hand side and only three on the left hand side. What actually happens when all the 5 switch positions are activated? Up till this happened in position #1 the fender lights come on. Position #2 bright straight ahead. Position #3 beam deflected left. Position #4 ??? Position #5 right hand headlamp only. Are these the correct operations? At the moment only the right hand headlight does all functions.
Checking the left hand cables with a test lamp only 1 cable shows power. Checking with a meter the same happens but in continuity mode there seems to be two cables going to ground. Could this be the problem or is the switch a likely
candidate. I need to get this sorted before putting in the rare 3003 bulb and blowing it again.

Many thanks

Terry
