My driving light started playing recently.
With isolator switch in on and high high beam engaged driving light are illuminated.
When low beam is selected driving light stay on, only when isolator switch is turn off, do driving lights extinguish.
I suspect wiring relay may be faulty, in simple terms how can I test.
Looked everywhere and can only find outa china, eta late May.
If testing no good, anyone know where I can get replacement ,only ones I've found have terminal different configuration.
Too lazy and rather not re arrange wiring.
Cheers

Re: Driving light relay
Hmmmm
Admittedly it was in the 70s, but my solution was to hook up the driving light supply wire to the high beam supply wire at the back of one headlight.
I guess things have changed a tad since then…

Re: Driving light relay
Kappy that relay looks a lot like the ones on an Iveco on the fuse panel under the glove box. 2002 model.
I can check a bit later if you like seeing it's parked away from where I am.
What vehicle is it off? Or is that off the wiring that came with the spotlights?

Re: Driving light relay
Did a little Googling.
It appears as maybe a Mitsubishi unit.
Pinouts as shown & I suspect if you clean it up a little back in near the base of the 4 pins you might see the numbers.
In any case if you hold it so you are looking at the pins, pin 1 & 2 are on the rt side so running 12v on them pins should give a click.

Re: Driving light relay
Kappy, if you are anywhere a Repco store, then try this one. 4th line down on the left. $22 plus GST.
I'm not convinced that the relay is the problem though. I think your problem is from where your isolation switch gets its supply.
