[Mk2] [Generic] Electrical gremlin - advice required

Post by Racer7 »

Hi,

So after a few years away I'm back in the fold. Car has been sat for the best part of a year. I'm almost MOT ready but I've got a few issues to resolve.

My dipped lights aren't working. Neither are the indicator lights coming on off of the stalk. So firstly, are these likely one and the same issue or two separate ones?

Trouble shooting today I found:

  • ► Dipped doesn't work on turning the stalk
    ► Checked the light unit (front signal and dipped light) with alternate units and the front indicators light up but dipped doesn't
    ► Hazard switch makes ALL iindicators come on including the side indicators


Previously they did work, until I switched over the lights to crystal lenses. That said, the strip(front indicator, dip light and fog light) has been tested as working. The issue with the indicator stalk also tells me something else is going on.

So, I need some help. Images are always beneficial to me!

I have already spend the evening searching for solutions and have come across people with similar circumstances but which are never resolved.

I'm sure I can't be the only person to have had this problem, so I'd be grateful for any advice!
