Bit of a mystery...... 1999 Disco 1, on a dark and stormy night, there was a chap looking to find his way home..........from the inlaws!!!!
He gets to his discovery and hops in hoping for a quick getaway.
As he turns the key from 1,2-start the engine springs into life, a roaring v8 that scares away local wildlife and makes children cry suddenly comes to a grinding halt by the sign of no light!
Bewildered by this event, that a British engineered piece of mastery has crushed his attempt of escape. He sat there silently for a while....
thinking what could the problem be?
He made several attempts to get the lights on but failed, he tried the bulbs, no, he tried the fuses, no, he giggled the stork around violently hoping that a swift connection might be made, but failed. He was left on the drive, stranded, crippled by the failure of escape. And then came those dreaded words from a distance........"whats wrong? is it broke?"
Then a thud, a bang on the bonnet and stood there was......the inlaw!!!
Anyways............ I have no lights I have sidelights, indicators, rear lights, brake lights & fogs. But no main beams. The blue mainbeam light is illuminated on the dash, however I have neither main or dipped.
So far I have checked the fuses - all fine,
Replaced the stork with a new unit - still the same
All the wires appear ok visualy and no connectors are melted or crudded up.
Oh, and the bulbs are ok too.
Im kind of stuck really, not sure what to check next. Any suggestions????
Cheers
