My wife's 2000 skoda felicia low beams NOT working. Installed new bulbs and everything was still the same. High beams work OK. And the small bulb next to main bulb works. what other areas should I be looking at?

Light switch? Fuses (not sure if dip is on a separate fuse on the Fel without a manual here, but they usually are). If it's both you'd suspect switch first though...

hi there try you stalk as thats where it all goes from switch to stalk then to head lights i looked on a loom from a felicia that i have from my breaker

^ agree, it will more than likely be the stalk, I think the op posted this same question in the fabia section a few days ago and that was the answer I wrote on there too.

Hi,

 

I've just had this same problem with my 97 felicia. I have no low lights. The full beam works, the indicators are fine, the hazards work but i dont have any main lights. Tried changing the fuses but didnt help. and someone said the switch might have burt out because thats a common problem but the light on the button still comes on when you push it but just no lights. will it be the stalk? and what is a stalk lol?

 

Cheers, Phil

According to Urban Dictionary a 'stalk' is "Another term referring to the penis". I think in English there's a better term, "lever" in this case referring to left lever for high-low beam switch.

 

First of all it would be nice to figure out why did the problem happen. Was it a short? Or was it just old switches not making contact? My dip beam bulb filaments blew out a long time ago after I degreased my engine and washed it with a high pressure hose. Key on, zap! No dip beams, fuses OK...

 

That could be your case too. Check the bulb filaments with an ohmmeter at headlights socket between the yellow and brown wires.

 

I also suspect the dip switch. The little bulb inside is using another pair of contacts to lit. Have access to dip beam switch, unplug the blue and brown wires, and connect their ends with a piece of wire. Switch on side lights and set ignition key on. If you have dip beams, you need a new dip switch.

Hi all,

 

I had this problem twice and in both cases. It was a faulty "stalk" "lights lever" whatever. I removed the lever and opened its connectors box at the end. It seemed in both cases that the cause was loss of contact from its internal copper things that switch on low and high beams. It is because of age and the spring action between low beam and flashing the high beam.

 

Try turning on the main and dip switches with ignition on and then pull very slowly and lightly the lever towards you as if trying to flash the high beam but not enough to flash it. If moving the lever using this way turns on the low beam then your problem is as I described above.
