Livi 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 I think the Beamer is going through its teenage years and has decided to hate me. So i get into my car try put the head lights on...what the why are they orange? so i get out and check...so my head lights arent going at all and both my indicators are lit up dimly *i dont know if thats a word or not ahah* , not flashing just constantly on dimly. My check screen then writes out * low beam headlights faulty* what should i be checking? Luke did suggest the relay? i shall check that tomorrow...but any ideas guys? need to get this fixed before six at night tomorrow so i can go to hams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 Sounds like an earthing fault Livi... do the high beam headlights and park lights work ?? or have you got no headlights at all ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livi 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2009 park lights work but not when you put your headlights fully on on the dial....not sure about high beam though ill have to check that on my lunch break. my indicators dont work when i put my headlights on as the indicators stay on constantly.
