#10: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:45 am ---- Ok av had a look at the fuses under the bonnet and fuse 5 was blown (10amp) all the other fuses were ok. I replaced this and the light still won't work ... Wil need to check the other fuses inside the car under the dash hmmm.... Any ideas ?
#11: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:31 am ---- Fuse 5 is a 10amp fuse for the ECU
Do you have a multimeter or test light? so that you can test if there is power going to the bulb?>
#12: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:35 am ---- No I don't have a multimeter or a test lamp Lee ... I wonder why the ecu fuse was blown ? Strange
#13: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:36 am ---- I have replaced the bulb aswell
#14: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:40 am ---- does the dipped beam work in the same headlamp? or is that not working as well as the main beam
#15: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:04 pm ---- The sidelight works and so does the main beam it's the dipped that's not working
#16: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:15 pm ---- Take it forgranted then that you checked all the fuses with you noticing fuse 5 was broke?
If the fuse it fine and the main beam is working, you've either damaged the bulb holder/connector or there's a break in the wiring from the short circuit
#17: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:21 pm ---- Yeah I checked all the fuses under the bonnet and they were all fine .. The plastic connector that the bulb connects into is damaged it's melted . It was like that when I bought the car and the light was working .. But the plastic holder itself has kinda fell to bits but surely if you plug the spade connectors to the bulb it would still work ?
#18: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: Stormcooper, Location: PeterboroughPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:44 am ---- I have the same problem, did you manage to fix yours?
#19: Re: blown a fuse ? Author: DeadEyePaul, Location: Rugby,WarwickshirePosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 1:23 pm ---- i found fuse 11 (10 amp) was blown in the fuse box in next to the car battery. i was shouting at my morrettes wondering why the high beam wasnt working on my drivers side. "I kept saying to myself it cant be a fuse, why would they fuse 1 bulb"
Guess what it was a fuse...
just pull all fuses out one by one and check them. MAKE SURE YOUR CAR'S batttery is disconnected safely
