    High beam isnt working- Bulbs/Fuse OK

    When Im on low beams and I want to switch to high beams through the lever behind the wheel, nothing happens - except sometimes- when I move it back and forth many times, it works. But, when I want to flash someone, high beams ARE functional.

    That was the case at least in the beginning and then my right high beam bulb stopped being functional so when I was flashing only the left high beam was on. Until yesterday...

    ...which it was fixed by itself and now both high beams are working but no matter how many times I move the lever back and forth I dont have steady high beams any more. I still can flash people if thats the right term anyway...Not the other thing with the coat... lol

    NEA,

    The boys are trying to tell you that there is a problem with the multifunction controller stalk attached to the steering wheel in the cabin.

    NOT the combination relay under the hood.

    NEA,

    If it is the combination Relay, then replace the relay! They are not very expensive and they do fail.

    Have a look at the photos below. Note the relay box location behind the fuse box. Also note my car is RHD, so my fuse box is on the Right side. But your car is LHD. That means your fuse box is on the Left side under the hood.

    Dude the reason I wrote this thread in the first place was because I didnt know the location of that relay! I already knew it was either the combination switch or the combination relay (even if I didnt know the english names for them), and I didnt want to buy the switch first as it is very expensive in comparison to the relay which is very cheap.

    Anyway, I really appreciate the photos and I would like to thank you for your time man, thank you so much. I will post the results as soon as I replace the damn thing.

    OK I understand now! Your English is very good. My Greek is sadly non-existent.

    Hope the relay works for you!
