HELP!! NO DIP LIGHTS OR SIDE LIGHTS!!
Hey Rovers,

Ok let me start by stating what lights work.....Main beams (High beams), tail lights , rear license plate light, brake lights work....

When I push the left headlight stalk away from me the Main Beams (high beams) come on, when I pull the stalk towards me to flash the main beams they come on also.

Big Cry What doesn't work or my front side lights and dip lights (low beams).

I will do some testing tomorrow with my Multimeter to verify fuses and the Dim Dip Relay works, however, if any of you experienced this issue first hand and perhaps can save me some of the time by pin pointing me exactly where to look, I'd be grateful Bow down

The side lights should always be on, even if the dim dip relay is defective.
Check the switch on the steering column after verifying that all fuses are good. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Do the rear lights switch on on both switch positions? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Yes all the rear lights worked.....

I believe i found out what the issue was, a few days ago the Landy won't start, it won't crank over so after fiddling through and testing for current in the circuit i noticed there was no current from the terminal that would provide the 12v to the starter motor leading me to think the ignition barrel was at fault and as a result i installed my own start switch to by pass the crank terminal from the ignition barrel.

So from all that fiddling it seemed as though the backside of the ignition barrell (white piece with the terminals) wasn't securely fitted back onto the ignition barrell and as a result the DIM Switch Relay was not receiving any power from the WHITE cable coming from the ignition.

So now that's fixed i am in the mind frame of converting this badboy to a push to start ignition.

Thanks Dinnu for your timely response bro!
