Issue with main beams - 87 Citi Sport

Post by dazza »

So need some guidance, main beams stopped working all of a sudden.

Car has the 4 lights, main 2 and the smaller two.

If I activate the light switch, back lights come on , if I then pull in and hold the stalk for the brights, then all 4 front lights come on.

Check fuses, no apparent issues, testing globe plug when ignition on and light switch activated, no voltage but when brights are actuated then voltage is delivered to both live wires on the right side (Low beam and high beam), left side only has voltage to one of the live wires.

Happy to take suggestions for a good auto electrician as last resort.
