Headlights will not go out
« on: May 18, 2006, 12:11:55 »
Strange this one, all of a sudden I cannot get my lights to turn off without removing the fuse.

I disconnected the switch on the steering column and they remain on. If I disconnect the voltage regulator thingy bob behind the instrument cluster they go out.

Can't find a relay ?

Any clues what could be the problem, could it be the voltage transformer as when I disconnect that the lights go out. ? It is a 1989, 2.5 NA

Is there a dim/dip relay? I had this problem on a Hyundai I bought for a friend and it was the dim dip relay on that car.

I suspect the 'voltage regulator thingy' (!) is actually the relay.
