1000 1000ds 2006 No Headlights

  1. Hi guys,
    My dimmed headlights suddenly won't work anymore. Only flashing highbeam with the switch on the back of the left handle works.
    Backlights are all ok.
    I switched the bulbs and checked if the are ok.
    Measured the voltage on the wires from the dim/high beam switch on the lefthand but no voltage there.
    No voltage with contact on and no voltage with running engine.
    And yeah, of course I checked the fuses:they are ok. upload_2025-5-4_17-49-4.gif
    Anybody has any idea what the problem can be?
    Thanks.

  2. probably one of the relays up by the battery.
     
  3. Thanks.
    As far as I can see in the manual there is only a relay for high beam, but I check it out.
     
  4. this was the fault with my 1100. same symptoms.

  5. I think there are two identical relays next to each other near the battery, one for the lights and one for the starter, or fuel pump, can't remember, it's been a while since I had mine. You could swap them over to rule out the relay, it probably is the relay though, quite a common fault.
     
  6. Would the headlights normally go off when you press the starter button?
    If so, check that the switch is returning fully.
    Upt.
