Title: Low Beam on 147 not working.
Post by: Andiroid on July 07, 2018, 02:03:06 PM
Hi all,
My low beam healights have stopped working 🤔 My parkers, foglights and Hi Beam all work. But not my low beam. I have looked at the relays and fuses and they all seem to be fine. No warning light on dash. Had anyone else had this issue at all?

Thanks!!

Andrew

I know this is gonna hurt your feelings, but have you tried a new bulb yet? I have come across this before, both bulbs mysteriously blowing at the same time. it DOES happen, no idea why, but it does.

I know it should throw a blown bulb warning but sometimes it won't.

Ha, yes! I have tried new bulbs and after a rather "character" building 3 hours of playing with fuses, relays, new bulbs. I managed to get the left side fog light not to work as well as a wire came off and I couldn't get it back on the connector.

So, any Alfa knowledgeable auto-electricians around any one can recommend?

Really! You can't think of any? None in the Brisbane area? Can't think of not one? You sure?  ::)

(LOL @ Bazz.)

So Andrew, if you bridge the headlight relay infeed and outfeed, there's no light?

Is the Alfa a "beamer" again yet?  :P
