#1: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 4:37 pm ---- So... Just got home obviously with my lights on. And tried to turn them off when I parked up. Car was having none of it. My main headlights will not turn off. All other lights inc rears and sides are off.
Solution??
I don't touch fuses btw ever since I spiked my ECU and it cost £1000 to get fixed.
I know I've not been on here in a while and here I am crawling back back when I've got a problem and all that crap. But help please
P.S. Temporary solution - disconnected the battery

i would rather unplug the headlights than the battery as you will mess up the bsi as the it will not be shut down in the correct way.
#4: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 4:50 pm ---- It's not plexed. It won't f*** itself. Ever tried to get bulbs out in the dark... Well Anyway I didn't think of that...

If the headlights passed through the BSI on a pre plexed, you'd probably be right, but they don't.
It's more likely to be the switch.
Fuse 10 (40A) under the bonnet is a simple way to turn them off. The headlights (dipped and main) are the only thing passing through it so you should be alright pulling it.

Hoping it'll fix it (:

#10: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 3:46 am ---- Yeah but if the batterys been off without the right procedure its gonna need a reboot anyway...
#11: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:25 am ---- No it won't because it's pre plexed. It'll be fine. I've done this plenty of times before.

I am the retard?
The switch didn't work. I wiggled a wire in my H4/H7 adaptor and they went off. They now work properly
#14: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 10:29 am ---- UPDATE: Drove 10 miles... When I got there, they wouldn't turn off again... Opened the bonnet and wiggled the green block that on my H4/H7 adaptor and they went off.
What is that bit? Don't think it's a loose wire because I wiggled all the wires and it did nothing... Gave a dropped it and they went off ?! WTF?!
#15: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 11:18 am ---- Sounds like the relay in the adapter has gone!
#16: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 11:40 am ---- You didnt tell me you had the adaption harness......
Im going on what should be a standard vehicle
#17: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 12:16 pm ---- Thought I told you it had crystals... ?!

Uh oh :\
That sounds bad.
Does that mean I need a new adaptor or a new relay?
Can you tell I don't do electrical things?!
#19: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 2:03 pm ---- HAHA you need to get a photo of the thing you wiggle (not a euphemism) but it does sound like a relay addaz should be able to sort it out by now...
#20: Re: Lit up like a Christmas tree... Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 2:06 pm ---- Spoken to Lee too... He thinks it's the relay. Sounds like it's right. It's around an inch by an inch block.
New one from Maplin or Halfords for like £3 apparently. So I'll try that when the shops reopen and report back!
