sidelight/driving light prob

hiya - got a bit of a strange one…

when I turn the sidelights on (halfway on the light switch) the driving lights come on instead.  they stay on when the switch is in driving light position.

could this be a faulty light switch?

cheers,
Tris.

Yes ,  but may also be-caused by someone altering the wiring …….Do you have side lights at all .

that's a good question - I'm pretty sure the sidelights come on too, but will double check!

ok, checked - the sidelights do come on as expected with the switch in 'sidelight' position.  the driving lights come on as well tho

Wiring been altered i think  :dontknow: Seen this before as a quick way to provide additional lights .


Cheers……….

ah bugger!

will try a new switch before starting to destroy wiring…

got this sorted - it was due to having a separate headlight loom and later electrics.

in later cabs, the dipped beams turn on a little when using sidelights. when you have a separate relayed lighting loom it gets switched on fully by this!

fix is to disconnect the resistor (looks like a pack of polos).

all fine now
