#1: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2014 10:18 am ---- Hi,
I'm after a bit of help if possible. My dipped headlights have stopped working and I thought it was the bulbs. I've replaced them but i've still got no lights. My full beam and side lights are still working though. I'm guessing it might be the fuse which is at fault ?
Can anyone tell me which fuse I should be looking for as I haven't got a clue ?
Thanks,
Matt.

Since they don't share the same fuse I'd be looking at something that is common to the pair eg switch, relay or possibly a fault on the VAN circuit.

Reboot the BSI unit.

#6: Re: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 9:12 am ---- Rebooted the BSI, the fault still occurred.
Checked fuses 9 and 10 under the bonnet and they are fine.
Looks like its something common, ie a relay but I couldn't seem to find it. Anyone know where I should be looking ?
Thanks,
Matt.

You tried swopping the main beam bulb for the dipped?
They should both be H7's bulbs on a 2004 unless someone's changed the headlamps.
#8: Re: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 10:45 am ---- There isn't any power going to the headlamp connections, I tested this. However the wiring looks ok.
Not tried swapping the bulbs but installed new H7's on Friday so I would expect these to be ok ?
#9: Re: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Sun Oct 12, 2014 10:48 am ---- I checked the wiring to the headlamps and it look ok, however there seems to be no power getting to the connectors (tested this with a multimeter).
Installed new H7's on Friday as I thought that was the problem initially so can't see it being the bulbs ? Check those with the tester as well and look ok.

#12: Re: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 8:30 am ---- Yes there is power getting to the fuses.
When I turn the lights on the green light comes on the dash and if the door is open I get the audible alarm so something thinks that the lights are on !

#14: Re: Dipped Headlight problems - 206 04 plate Author: mattbarker, Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 2:59 pm ---- I looked for that but couldn't find it which one is it ?
