Headlight inop

[ironman]

I have a 2001 406 2ltr HDI estate and my n/s dipped headlight isn't working.

I have changed the bulb (twice, thinking the first new bulb must have been dud) and I've checked the fuse (No 31 I think it was according t the handbook) which was not blown.

Is there anything else that might be causing this problem?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome in mate!
Possibly fault with the relay if the fuse is ok? Either that or wiring fault/stalk fault.

Can you tell me which relay please and where it is located

Also how do I check it?

Thanks

I'd get the multimeter out and check things like the bulb socket and fuses, trying to see where there is electricity.

I couldn't tell you which relay as I've never owned a D9, however check this page for a link to the Haynes
To test just swap the relay with a different circuit!

If I'm reading this right the engine fuse panel on all D9s is the same, just on earlier cars the wiring is part of the fuse panel. It's a bit confusing on the parts diagrams as it only mentions from July 2001 but if this isn't just another cock-up you should look at fuse 9 there.

Thanks for the help, it's sorted now.

It was a fuse, I had already looked at them and they looked ok, but when I took them out and looked more closely I realised one was cracked.

Thanks Again
