lost my lights on 80s LC

Tim,

Under the bonnet on the Passenger side there is a black box with fuses, just behide the battery tray. Lift the lid and there is a Headlamp relay check that also some fuses.

When doing the front end of your Cruiser, do one side at a time. That way you can check to make sure that it is going back the right way. Try and get a socket for the wheel bearing lock nuts. It is about 52mm. In the kit there should be new lock nuts, take one of them with you. I got mine through a beraing supply shop that also carried a lot of tools. It saves the hassel of trying to tap the nuts up tight, very hard to get a feel on how tight the bearing is.

Allow yourself a full day to do the job if it is your first time, but you will get quicker the more you do.

When doing the bearings everything must be clean when it goes back to-gether.
Also there is different grease for the CV and bearings
Wheel bearings: Lithium base wheel bearing grease NLGI2
CV : Molyb-denum disulphide lithium base grease

Good luck

Wayne

Yep, agree with Tim it will be a loose relay. These are a plug in unit and as Tim says it is in the fuse box under the bonnet

Tim,

We had a 75 series with same problem, turned out to be a buggered fusible link. Not sure if the 80 has 2 links, but the 75 does, and one controls the lights.

We use to use the same method with lights, hold them back on "flash"

Hooroo...

had similar problem on my 80 series, checked all fuses and relays, nothing was found, then tested each wire individually for breakages, couldnt find any , untill i found a wire coming of my battery had snapped inside the plastic coating, very lucky to find it, the wire was just supported by the plastic cover and had no resistance at all when moved, hope this helps.

Hello Tim,

The socket size is 54mm for the fron bearing preload. See www.lcool.org technical pages as there is some great items there which may be of assistance.

Regards,

Seanny

Tim,
If the lights are now stuck on high beam, I would still check the relay.

With the lights on, give the relay a tap, this just might fix the problem.

Also check the contacts on the stork and see if they have fused to-gether.
