can anyone tell me the location of the main beam relay as my lights are stuck on dip and i cannot get the main beam to work or the main beam flash

[chrisgixer]

Fuse box under steering wheel. At the very top. Small black relay.

On elites there's two. Tother is self levelling pump. Not sure how yours will be configured.

thanks for that,if i take the relay out will the dip beam go off or would it stay on as when i take it out the dip beam stays on,thanks brian

It'll go off when you pull relay

You should hear it click when you flash headlights, which will help identify which of the 2 small ones at the top it is. Earlier cars have it marked on fusebox lid

It might not click. That might be the problem

Assuming everything else is working OK, the only thing is fuses (F21 and F32), stalk, main light switch, high beam relay or wiring.

i have renewed the stalk checked the fuses and renewed the small relay box,also checked the main beam bulbsmbut all i get when i turn on the main beam headlights is the dip lights which do not go off 
when you switch the the lights,when i also pull out the small relay box the dip lights do not go off,is there another relay box under the bonnet somewhere,or should i check somewhere else,any suggestions would be grateful

Where did the switch come from?

Ok, rules that out...

Headlight switch to sidelights = a single 5w light in each headlight cluster.

Headlight switch fully on = as above plus outboard head lights lit.

Indicator switch forward with headlight switch fully on = main beam on. Should then have four headlights and side lights visible.

Indicator switch pulled back should flash the inner pair of lights regardless of headlight switch position...

that is correct,but the main beam does not come on and the main beam flash does not operate

Last post might have been a bit patronising, not meant to be, but was trying to clarify your previous post

Sounds like the switch is a dud...

Can't be main fuse links, as loads of other shite wouldn't work. Now at stage of needing a meter on it. Shame I'm too far away
