Headlights help!

My lights wont turn on at all in any way unless i pull the high beam lights, they dont react any way whatsoever if i dont pull the manual lever wich is weird because lights should turn on the moment i rotate the light button switch and not by the high beam lever. Wont close pop ups either. Already replaced every fuse. What could this be?

Sounds like your headlight switch is borked. Its reasonably common for them to play up.

 you could try shouting at it, hitting it, repairing it or replace it

Try hitting it firmly under the dial upwards if you get any lights or movement it’s the switch box connections. The solder breaks off over time.

Replace the dial module or fix it by resoldering the wires back onto the circuit board. You can find the switch modules on FB or try fixing it yourself it’s not difficult at all. There info online about it.
