About 18mnths ago I drove into a town at night and dimmed my lights and blew the relay for the headlights in the fuse box under the bonnet. I replaced that and 2wks ago I was driving along the barkley, stopped, turned the spotlights down (3 night stalkers), kept the hand-held light force going then went to turn the night stalkers back on and the lights went out - posssibly as I was firing up 3 spotties with 1 already on? So I turned all the lights off and then back on and all OK. Then we arrived in one of the towns, dimmed my lights and blew, actually melted the relay so no lights (except parkers). I had to night drive and couldn't get hold of a relay so I hard wired the terminals where the relay was. One connection with 4mm wire and the other where the melting occured with 4mm wire and a 15amp fuse. After 4hrs the lights were out again and the fuse holder was melted. What is happening??????
