NealandPam Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I had mr TR6 MOT'd recently & both headlights worked on the first test attempt. However, the mechanic then stated the nearside light failed to work on a second attempt. The nearside low beam works ok as does the off side headlight & low beam light. I've confirmed a serviceable headlamp, fuse & cleaned up the dash switch selector. II'd be grateful for any advice on where a potential open circuit is most likely to be please.

Alan +1. I've had exactly that problem. A double socket bullet connector fell apart, with the springy metal clip breaking inside the rubber cover. Took a while to find but after 50 years, these unexpected faults can develop. Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
