Jazz 2003 GD1 1.3 - front side lights - strange problem
« on: October 19, 2022, 12:26:22 AM »
Hi to all,
I have a strange problem with my front side lights, they won't come on.
At first I thought the bulbs had gone, so I changed them, still the same - only main beam and full beam work.
I changed the fuse but still the sidelights won't come on.

Any ideas where to look to solve this problem?
Cheers guys..

Cant say specifically  but  this is a situation where a multimeter comes in very handy.

You can check whether the lights are receiving 12 volts, and also whether they are earthed to the body to ensure a circuit back to the battery.  Poor earthing is a common cause of faulty lights. If there is a power supply problem you can test back   through the wiring circuit, check switches etc  to locate where the problem lies. It can check if bulbs and fuses have blown  (a visual check is not always reliable.) 

If you havnt already got one you can buy a suitable electronic one for about £7.   You will find lot of uses for it around the car and home over the years.    Only yesterday I found two AA batteries in a drawer.   Tested them , One was 1.6 volts - ie new, the other was under 1 volt and should have been thrown away  , I mean  recycled. :-[     These little savings add up  ;D
