Discuss Headlight relay issue in the Auto Electrician Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi dude,you say you have added two relays,one for dipped,one for main,this means the o/s and n/s headlights are receiving parallel feeds,is this how they are originally fused?
Your sidelights will be fused n/s and o/s,whilst the main lights may or may not...

There should originally be OEM relays for the main lights,which are now only loaded by the coils of your relays,so a bit too much redundancy going on there....can you not search for the reason why there is a voltage drop/high resistance on the circuit?

Some of our french vehicle wiring can be dubious,to say the least,with Peugeot winning trophies for the "least amount of copper in a wire to still ensure conducting"...competition. :sad:

usually problems arise in auto lighting due to faulty grounding connections (straps being corroded or loose) or weak intermittent shorting(had this happen on my truck, lead from the alternator fell against the exhaust manifold and partially burned through the insulation, it was a trial to find i found it when i saw a small spark when i moved the wire)

long time ago before i became an electrician!
