Electrics followup post 25112

ps willem i think you may need a new headlight but you dont want to know that !!!!!!!
steve
i see we have a access violation happening again

Thanks Steve

Bought a new headlight today and the problem is still there. No highbeam and only in the one headlight. Flashing the light also does not work. Low bean works and everything works on LH light. Puzzle?

Thanks mate. Will bring it down next time I come to Town

stick it on the bus..it will be fixed before you get down here

No mate, no spotties but have just completed 16,000km corrugated trip out west and a few things shook loose. It is a new light

Have followed the wire as close as I can back to the fusible link. Have not taken wire covers off though. Might have to do some more test light testing.

Ok Willem, I give up then. I'll go back to my scotch & cola. Sorry I couldn't help. Rus.

Sorry didn't read the above question properly

HI Ken

Its the wiring to the High Beam...but where?

Starter motor is stuffed. Have not pulled it apart yet but it looks like the original one....299,000km

Hi Eric

Using a mulitmeter and a test light I have narrowed the problem down to the High Beam wire being faukty between the dashboard and the headlight socket. Havent found the relay yet but no doubt it will take me a couple of days with my limited knowledge of electrics lol

BTW the fusiblke link is OK. Also cant find where the light socket wires are earthed.

Willem

Have you had a look under the black panel that sits half way down the drivers side inside guard ? there are some relay there that you would want to check.

Follow the wire from the head light backwards and costantly check to see if it has power , this way you will find were the break in the wirring is

Have fun

Willem, use the working wire on the other side and set up another relay under the bonnet and run the wire to the other side, easier than trying to find a bruk wire

hmmm I sugest against doing that lol. Engine bay starts looking like a wirring desaster after a while lol

i think you shoudl find the original fault . The existing fault make cause havic in the future , if its a brocken wire baby not . but if its a wire that earthing and has blown a fuse , it way cause a disaster in the future is someone replaces fuse ect.

I am sure you are familiar with rewiring a car willem after a wire meltdown lol .

No Offence intended to our good buddy Bonz , just not what i would do

cheers boys

Hi Bonz

I like that idea! Had to do something similar with the G60(hmmmm....seems to be a Nissan trait lol).

The G 60 , hmm that car rings a bell . Could that have been the car you re wired ? lol

have fun bud , look at the bright side , it has given you something to do lol

cheers mate

Yes Eric I know all about loom meltdowns on the Birdsville Track. Oh what fun!!!

Now, there are no blown fuses or blown fusible links. I cannot find a relay for the lights in the wiring diagram. I will continue to look for the problem which I have narrowed down to under the dashboard as per the wiring diagram. Have not found any relays in box on side of battery which relate to lights...but then again I am only a novice.

Then there is also the case for the Temperature Gauge which does not work and the Oil Sender gauge which is now working again after being out of service for 2 months.

Basically I think that this truck has some inherent electrical problems and maybe I should trade it in somewhere on a less complicated 4by lol
