I had a similar problem on the studio 2. Previous owner had taken the steering column cowl off and re-fitted it too far down .This prevented the flasher stalk from coming up high enough to make the contact.:mad:

it did work before we put her in the garage 2 yrs ago, and when we try it now the clock lights flash but nothing from the headlights :confused:
as said before weve put in new headlamps so dont no if its due to this????

try all the bullet conectors to the headlamps give them a wiggle & a clean:) also make sure you have a good earth.

hey peeps got it sorted after about 4 hrs of searching, it was the little metal prong things that connect the wire to the stalk it was bent backwards onto another wire :mad: .
but at least its done at last.
thanks for all the suggestions they were all tried and tested.
take care

That's good, 12 volt electrics can be a right pain. Glad you got it sorted:)
