Hey guys!
My 78 shark has some issues that I cant call charming anymore:-)
When I pop-up the lights, they both light. But turn on the "longlights" (lol dont know what its called in english!), the right one goes off!. Also my right indicator works, but turn on the left, the relay just makes a buzzing noise. Yes Ive changed the relay. Same with the fog lights, the lef works, but the right is only half lit. Like one of two bulbs are glowing. Speedo doesnt work either. Any tips, or should I just commence the earth-search?

 

Definitely check and clean all of your earths. The problem with the long lights (brights) is probably a burned out H-4 element in the light. The problem in the right turn signals may be a burned out/shorting bulb, corroded contacts in the bulb holder or bad grounds for the light. Most speedometer problems can be traced to the sensor connector at the front of the spare tire well.

thanx alot Dennis for those tips! Ill try to figure it out..

 

Buzzing relays are usually caused by bad fuse contacts. Fuse might be good but the contact to the CE panel might be bad - clean the contacts and/or replace the concerning fuses.

 

I believe you have a seperate fuse for each bright. Worth checking.
