NC23 headlights not working :(

Post by Addsclayton »

Hi all

I have a 88 nc23 and the headlights and full beam have stopped working. The side lights still work though, I have tried replacing the switch but they are still the same and it is not the bulbs so I am kind of stuck!

Has anybody else had this problem or got any ideas please.

Thanks

P.S. I can do almost anything to an engine but show me a wire and I get all panicy!

And checked the relay?
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
