Vauxhall Astra DL16 full beam stuck on

Hi, my neighbour's Vauxhall Astra DL16 S reg has her lights stuck permanently on full beam even when her ignition is switched off. Any ideas?



Thanks to any replies

Faulty headlamp relay

Yep. Most likely a stuck relay (could be a switch or wiring fault, but a stuck relay is far more likely).

Take it out, and try swapping it with another one.

Or hit it with a screwdriver :-)

If the lights suddenly go out, you've found your problem. OTOH, I expect the OP has a flat battery by now!

Headlight relay or indicator stalk.

Indicator stalks are common on these, Corsa B's and early Vectra's.

Very common in fact, I cant recall ever having seen any of those models without one.
