Hey peepz

As of today all my front lights have gone very strange.

If i put the sidelights on, then use the indicators it makes the sidelights flash

the headlights wont come on dipped or main beam, if i try it just turns the front indicators on constant

Checked the fuses, doesnt appear to be a headlight relay on this model either (1995 SRi) also tried changing the indicator/main beam stalk

I'm gonna assume its a bad earth causing this... any1 got any ideas where abouts the earth might be located that could cause these faults?

Cheers

also try using WD40 or any water repelant on all the plugs etc! to drive out any moisture!
