Hi all, I'm hoping someone can offer some suggestions -

My driver side ( right side ) headlight unit is not working. Neither the main/low beam nor the sidelight will come on, although the indicator still works.

I changed the main beam bulb and no joy ( there was no sign of the previous one being broken ), I swapped the #58 and #57 fuses out, this also didn't help.

Next guess is something wrong with the earth point for the unit ? Does this sound likely ?

 

This is a 56 plate roomster, but I'm posting to the fabia II forum because AFAIK the car's the same at the front and more people will read it here The headlight module is the cornering variety.

 

Any help appreciated. Thx

Have you checked the replacement bulb is OK? There is only one bulb for high/low on Fabia. New bulbs have been known to be faulty.

Halfords sell a set including headlamp bulb for not much more cost than headlamp bulb on its own.

It's a fair point, I've got another spare I can try that too

Ah, it's a wiring problem :(

There's two brown and two red wires that go into the back of the bulb holder for the projector bulb - both brown wires are damaged very near the mounting point.

It looks like a bit of solder will sort them out ( they look half-cut, or maybe fatigued, and then they've pulled loose with the projector unit turning ). Does anyone know it ifts possible to unlcip this wire further up the chain so that I can remove it before attempting a repair, as there's not a lot of room to work in ?
