75 dip beam headlights

[justsuds]

Hi all, both dip beam on my 75 have stopped working, as each side has its own fuse it not a fuse problem, is there a relay in the dip circuit ? or is it likely to be a switch problem ? - I hate electrical problems, they always seem to ages to sort !
thanks, John.

Gosh, not a lot of response on this one!

I'm certain there is a relay or even those connections on the slam panel, remember having to clean them on mine to get a light to work years ago.

Yes, quiet in here so far isn't it!

need some more guys sharpish.


I tried googling for a wring diagram and got just every model but a 75, but for a 75 every circuit bar lights! typical!

It sounds likely that a relay for both sides, or a bad common earth/feed would be to blame, but looks like old school metering it out is the way forward currently.

well typically Alfa, got the multi meter out and they started working again on Thursday, result of sorts I suppose

Old fashioned technology, but I might have an Alfa dealer workshop manual for the 75 in the loft. It might also be just mechanicals, but I will try and find it just in case.

After several months of working / not working, I took it to the auto electrician, - should have done this in the first place, but .... - problem was in the fuse box, it took them 10 minutes to fix ! Now servicing and prepping it for a trip to Spa in 2 weeks time !
