Title: No Headlights
Post by barrie on Oct 13^th, 2005, 4:50pm

Hi all just wondered if anyone can help me as i have no headlights or front fog lights on my 24v. The back lights are working fine. I have tried another switch and have tried pushing up all the connectors at the bottom of the fuse box (without taking them out) but still cant get them to work
has anyone had a similar problem or any ideas
thanks in advance

If my memory serves me correctly thare have been a number of post on this problem which,as Craig says,are usually traced to a charred contact or switch problem.

Hi Guys Thanks for the replies I will double check in the morning but i think that the wiring is ok and the pins look clean. The back lights are working and I have tried the switch from another scorpio so it cant be the switch

Thanks Scorpio man you were spot on and all fixed now. I had the plug out the other day to clean up the fuse box and failed to notice that on the left of the plug by the wing there are two roller type clips that are supposed to fit under the guides, and mine was just resting on top so not going in all the way. Its a very easy thing to miss and could have cost me loads as we all know what garages are like.
