Evening all, I seem to have got myself a little electrical gremlin! Earlier today I parked up and locked the Amazon as usual and returned about 20 mins later to find both dipped beams were on. I checked the headlamp switch but it was in the off position. Main beam and flash worked as normal but dipped beam wouldn’t turn off. Drove 10 mins home and found dipped beams had turned off by then so tried switching them on again to check and they stayed on with the switch back in the off position.
I’ve since removed the column cowls and disconnected the multiplugs from the column controls but no luck there so I can discount a faulty switch.
The info I’ve found so far is that there is a separate control box for each headlamp, it seems highly unlikely they will both have failed but I’ve still got to get to those!
Apart from the usual pre flight checks before a 500 mile round trip last week there hasn’t been any work carried out recently and there were no early waning signs.
I’ve no idea yet if there are any other relays or control units buried anywhere so any suggestions from those of you who have mastered the dark art of LandCruiser electrics would be most welcome!!
