Missing High beam ?

[MartinDK]

Hi,

I am suddently not able to use the high beam on the left headlight.

Two scenarios :

When I try to use it, the low beam just stays on. I have tried to change the bulb - no luck.

If I change the light switch so I can have permanent high beam on, the low beam goes out and there is no light in the headligh other than the parking light.

The right headlight works fine!

Any ideas?

Car is a 2002 Octy RS.

Fuse 19, 10 Amp, from here:

High beam fuse?

IIRC the fogs are on the same fuse. Had mine go in the Mk1 when one of the bulbs blew and sure only reason I noticed was that the fogs didnt work.

The fog lights seem to be on fuse 36 according to the picture. My fogs works fine, but will absolutely check Fuse 19 when I get home.

Have you tried changing the bulb? Funny things occasionally happen when an element blows.

Fuse replaced an headlight now works OK! Thanks!
