Hi anyone know why or had the same problem as this. All working okay then one day i went to turn on headlights and dip beam does not work on both sides. Sidelights work okay and full beam. Ive checked all the fuses in the engine bay and are all okay, also tried changing the two small white relays at the back of the fuse box and still the same. Is there anything else i should be looking for? Car is a mk2 orion ghia 1989.

 

had the same prob, my fusebox had warped a bit, give the legs on the relays a bit of a twist with some pliers, done the trick!!

 

hi, i checked the relays agaian and they seem to be okay. the two small white relays at the back of the fuse box, seem to click when the full beam is on and not dipped beam, have i got the correct relays? Any other ides anyone?

 

It does sound like the relays think its the 2 brown 1s at the back if there the same as my old escort as mine melted and fuse`box caught fire `` loom

can someone confirm which relays are for the dip beam headlights, is it the two white or the two brown, thanks, mk2 orion 1989

 

It could be the switch itself gone. I had the same problem on an old orion i had and thats what it ended up being.

 

change the 2 white relays at the back of the fuse box my neighbours was doing the same as yours we changed the 2 relays and it sorted it

 

hi i did chage the two relays white ones at the back of the fuse box and its still the same, maybe ill check out the switch. what wires should i bridge to check it out?
