Subject is an 89 200q, with Bosch 3 bulb (city, low
and high) euros. Quad Bosch relays (one for each low
and high bulb). Situation is:
Low Beam- low beam on left, low and hi on right, hi
beam indicator 1/2 bright.
Hi Beam- city only on left, low and hi beam on right,
hi beam indicator full bright.
Flash to pass- same as low beams (low on left, both on
right)...except hi beam indicator is full bright.
So I'm thinking left high beam is blown? But lights
switched off AND key off/out of ignition and BOTH
bulbs on right and city only on left but hi beam
indicator is now 1/ bright.
So, is 30 circuit power leaking through a hosed
combi-switch? Load reduction relay? One of the
relays at the euros themselves? Or the high bulb on
left? I'll investigate more tomorrow (Sat.), but
looking for some input.
TIA
Jim Accordino
ps- all connections at relays are tight and
watersealed, as are the grounds. Of course I'll look
at the grounds/connections again tomorrow.
