Dipped Beam

What's the differecne between the full beam and the main beam?

BarryTaylor ("BarryTaylor" ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Poor connections or a dicky relay.

What do you mean by differecne?

Thanks Adrian

Or the fuse.

Would the fuse stop the dipped beam working but allow the full beam to work?. Sorry I havent a clue about car things.

Well it depends on the vehicle, but yes it can as there's more than one. In the case of the Espace I think the left dipped fuse is fuse F17 & the right dipped fuse is F18.

I will check the fise tomorrow. Now, any idea where I might find it lol. I dont remember seeing it.

Passenger side of the centre console IIRC. It's in the manual:-)

Many thanks for all your help Duncan. Will have a look tomorrow. thanks again

Aargh, headlamps are in the fuse box in the engine bay, on the left hand wing .

thanks

Had the original bulb actually blown? If so it might have taken a fuse with it - many cars have separate fuses for each dipped beam. Your handbook should give the location of the appropriate one.

There is only one fuse for the dipped headlamps in the fusebox and that is a single 25 amp fuse which is ok. I looked at the other fuses for the other lights and they are all ok too. Where would I find the relay? Any other ideas what it may be?

Sussed it now, its sorted.

What was it?

cheers, clive

If there's only one fuse per pair I'd say it would be the same for the relay - ie only one.

Do tell - might help others even if just finger trouble.

I dont know to be honest. I banged the glass, like you do and Hey Presto, it came alive. Its got to be the wiring I assume, The bulb had definately gone though. But the bang seemed to fix it.
