[Rovernet] Blown fuses, need electrical help

Wed Aug 14 01:56:59 EDT 2019

Hi Lance,

Have you checked the correct operation of the high beam low beam switch. 
It might pay to remove it and carefully examine for wear/dirt etc that 
may be interfering with the contacts and earth. If you have a circuit 
diagram you may be able to test each circuit after disconnecting the 
harness from the switch. A broken fuse implies a short circuit somewhere 
and this procedure may clarify which one. Lucas "The Prince of

Lance,

How long did you drive before engaging the brights?

'70  3500s  w/o AC.      Had headlight wiring sorted out a couple of 
years ago by competent mechanic but I didn't have the opportunity to 
drive the car @ night until yesterday.    Once I began driving with 
lights on I decided to engage the brights.  When I subsequently 
disengaged the brights I had no lights what so ever.  Switched back to 
brights which lasted a couple minutes and then all headlights went dark 
(running lights, brake lights, etc., all remained operational).       At 
home I replaced the blown fuse on "Headlamp RH Dip"---it blew 
repeatedly, but for some unexplained reason if I left the fuse out 
altogether, I had all four lights on if I engaged the highbeam switch.

Any help in running down this problem would be appreciated.
