[Mk2] [NA] Headlights don't pop up properly

[TheLepresean]

Hello all, having bit of an issue with my headlights, sometimes I turn the headlight knob all the way around and the headlights don't pop up at all, side lights come on, but no headlights - I have to flash the high beams to get the lights to come up and then they work fine. Any suggestions what might be wrong? It's fine nine times out of ten, it's just the odd time that irritates me. TIA.

One of 2 things possibly Sean.

Either relays or wiring but as ity affects both it's an idea to look before it gets to where the loom splits to each unit.

Cluster switch is on it's way out so is not connecting on the 10th time.

Ah! So how do I go about remedying that?

Check all of the grounds as well.

My first bet would be a sticky relay.

Sean i can give john (torero) a known working relay and stalk at jae which you can arrange getting from him

Chris, if you would that would be excellent!! Can I give you some money for it? Been meaning to go and see John for a while, driven past his car but never heard it fire up would be a great excuse to if he's ok with it!

Just put something in a charity pot somewhere mate they'd of only been scrapped.

Hi Sean,

I've got the relay and cluster from Chris so PM me when you want to collect. Evenings after 5pm are probably best.
