Fiesta Lights Problem - Steveo4869
Hi all,
My ford fiesta xr2i 1991 has an annoying headlight fault which i can't seem to find the problem to.
When i turn the main beam on, for normal driving in the dark, everything is fine on the 2 headlamps but one of the 4 front auxilary fog/flasher light has a very very low dim.

This isn't such an issue but when flash my dipped beam or leave it on permentley the left head lamp works fine but the drivers side headlamp has no light but returns, to a main beam, when i switch back to main beam.

I have tried all earth cables are fine, disconnected the aux lights on the front to no success, and i can hear the relay click when i use dippped beam so all seems fine. Any suggestions gratefully received as always.

Steveo

Sounds like a defective connection allowing only high current flow. Disconnect and clean all connections is my advice: one by one. And recheck and clean earths...
