99 1.0 Full beam and rear window washer - KevHull87
Firstly, when the lights are on normal dipped beam the lights are fine, although it still shows the full beam light on the dash. When changing to full beam, the driver's side then goes very dull. There's nothing blocking the light when it shining up, and also tried a new bulb but the same problem.

Also, the rear window washer jet doesn't work, the action for this on the stalks just puts the front jets on again, but then doesn't engage the front wipers.

Any help?

Thanks

First thing to check are the 3-pin connectors on the rear of the bulbs.These can overheat and cause poor contacts.Also check the engine bay fuse box (next to battery)again for corrosion/poor contcts to the fuse holders.I would think that the rear washer is a seperate fault.Does this car have 2 pumps;1 front and 1 rear?hth
