Headlight headache

[bigdaves12]

Hey guys, I'm trying to get all my wiring checked and working prior to moving on with the project but I cant seem to get the headlights working. Side lights turn on fine but no headlights fire up. No voltage to bulbs, bulbs are ok.

Ive got a feeling im missing the headlamp sensor box but have no idea what it is and where to find the plug that it connects to. The manual says the connector should have 3 Orange and black wires, yellow/blue, pink/black, pink, 6 pin connector overall. I have a connector spare near the headlight connector at the battery tray but the cable colours dont match the manual.

Someone help me out please I'm pulling my hair out and im already going bald

Thanks tim, the connector im referring to is this one:



Im getting some proper wierd s**t now.

p/s headlight comes on
d/s never
d/s side light always comes on
p/s side light intermittent
when stalk is in headlight on position can hear humming from wiper motor, when wipers turned on headlights keep going up and down. I've made a major co**up somewhere.

Tim i'd appreciate it if you could tell me what goes onto that connector! Cheers guys

Just thought i'd mention, i've opened up the stalk and it is operating ok, making proper contact, tested with a continuity tester

EDIT: Found it in the manual

An update. The diode near the alternator loom was gone, bridged that and now the headlamps stay on with ignition on. Other diodes are ok.

Cleaned and connected up all the grounding points, now the wipers work fine without disturbing the headlights.

Still the headlights are playing up. Left lamp turns on when stalk is in second click position, no high bean when stalk is pulled back, main beam cuts out and no high beam. Right lamp shows no lights at all.

Both diodes are ok. Any clues people? Tim mate any chance i can borrow your stalk?
