Urgent help required - Octavia MK1 headlights not working after shock/impact? :(

[acme15]

Hi all,

 

So today I had the joy of putting the Slowda up a grass bank to avoid some numpty who was on the wrong side of the road on a blind corner, the shock of the impact has killed all of the headlights!

 

Fuses look OK, I don't think it is fuse related anyway... Read on:

 

Dipped beam doesn't work with headlight switch

Main beam doesn't work when switching to them with the stalk (pushing it away from you)

Headlight adjuster motors aren't working

Tell-tale in the cluster doesn't illuminate

Sidelights and front foglights DO work

Main beams DO illuminate when flashing them with the stalk (pulling it towards you)

 

Is there a relay somewhere or something which is likely to have blown / plug which might have come out / something else? 

Thanks

Err, I hammerfisted the top of the steering column and it fixed it, however jolts make it stop/start working... lol

Looks like I'll have to strip it down and replace the switch in there. :(

New stalk...

they can fail anyway due to wear/age/ filling up with corrosion and ****e, so good chance the jolt just finished yours off
