wagn Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my high beams on my ke20. Problem was when you pull the stalk back towards the wheel to flash the high beams i got nothing at,all headlights lights went off (flicking the stalk forward high beams work fine) so i pulled the switch off the steering column and had a look found that 2 contacts weren't contacting.so i slightly bent them in a bit so they contact and now beams come on when you pull the stalk back but stay on and don't return to low beam until you flick all the way forward to high beam then back to low beam again.So does anyone know how to get the high beams to flash to high then you pull the stalk back then back to low when you let the stalk go?

altezzaclub Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 I suppose you bend them back halfway to where they were... Is there a gap between those contacts when the lever is in the 'low beam' position?? If the contacts separate after you have pulled the lever back to the 'flash' position but the high beams stay on, then it must be something odd with a relay in that circuit. Quote
wagn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 yeah there is a gap in the contacts in the low beam position i just bent them enough so they would contact when you pull the stalk back to the flash position as they weren't contacting before Quote
altezzaclub Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 hmm... so they are open, you pull them back closed momentarily, then they open again but the lights stay on. The relay powers the bulbs first, then they earth back through the switch. Somehow it is continuing to earth the lights, so you'll have to pull the dipswitch apart again I think. I've swapped mine around, so the dipswitch turns the relays on and off and they earth out at the relays. That makes them much brighter headlights, but its nothing like yours I'm afraid. Quote
wagn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 ok thanks for the help where is this dip switch ? Quote
altezzaclub Posted October 28, 2011 Report Posted October 28, 2011 That's the one on the column that flicks from bright to dip, or high-beam to low-beam... Quote
wagn Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Posted October 28, 2011 haha brain fart :rolls: some reason i thought you were talking about another switch Quote
