Hi,

I have noticed this morning that both the headlights on the EL are not working. I thought this a bit strange, normally one might fail but not both. I had a quick look in the fuse box and I could not see a fuse labelled to indicate that it was for the headlights. Is there a fuse for them, if so could someone please tell me where it is? I have not actually checked the bulbs as yet to see if that is the problem, I am hoping it is just a fuse at this point.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks
Wardy

I think theres a relay near the coolant tank in the engine bay

Is there any way of determining if that relay is at fault ?

Turn em on and off and listen too see if it clicks...
Im not sure about the EF/EL but on the EB if i disconnect the wiring harness from one headlamp, they both stop working... check yer connections on each side...

The headlight relay is in a black box beside the battery, it is the 3rd one back from the front. The headlight circuit breaker is also under there.

There is a row of relays also near the battery, that are easy to get at, it's not in there :)

I bet they will both blow again, that's too much of a coincidence.
