Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Right Side Xenon Still Lazy althoug new Bulb and New Ballast, MOT Next Week

« on: 22 November 2022, 16:54:53 »

So left side kick panel off now, never seen so many wires. Maybe 300pc. There are two very large connectors, Green and blue. Green one is larger. Do you mean that I open it? Everything seems neat clean and dry. Never been there earlier. Fuse 31 was ok. Not oxidized. Is there other interesting plus in the right side?

Thanks DG, so LH driven car in Finland and Fuse box is in left side  under steering wheel. So that's drivers side for me.  Let' see what I find, I start from fuses although unlikely and continue to kick panels removal.

Found one schema. If X1 (red arrow) is a connector having wires 96, 104 and 108 latest 108 leading to E10 Head Light Dipped Beam-Right. If fuses are ok perhaps this connector have a problem. Any idea where it is located?

The original topic is below in bottom.

Then I changed Ballast in Nov 2022. Unfortunately still right side fires or not. In the morning it Fires but after a while when started again it usually does not. Left side 100% ok. Happens when Day Light Relay tries to fire or when I turn the switch. So perhaps something after this 12V is splitting into 2...

Below is what I learned from original topic reply #6 from TB:

"Just looked at the wiring diagrams, and its only one 12v feed from the daytime running "relay", splitting into 2 just before the fuses
F22 and F31."

What plugs should be checked if those fuses contrlos left and right side? Can this be a Fuse problem? Any relays? I do not have diagrams. And MOT next week. Please help.

I always removed the headlight.

On a FL model, remove grill, remove screw holding the trim under headlight (sometimes this screw is a plastic clip), then the 3 hex screws holding the headlight, plus all the electrical connectors.  Granted, bottom screw is a slight faff, but doable.

On PFL/MFL, if it has headlight washers, you have to loosen the bumper to get the headlight washer past the bumper.

This, but I have no idea what grill requires removing... 

Yeah, realized that, as FL just opening bonnet was enough, but cannot get the headlight off, more tips needed:

Removed those three hex bolts and the plastic clip fixing the trim in headlight (radiator side) and removed all the bulps and connectors.

I can move the light one centimeter to front and one centimeter to the radiator direction but cannot ge it out. Do I have to remove the trim under the lamp or bend it somehow? If trim have to be totally removed how it is locked in the wing side, please help. I cannot see down there (too big head).

Would like to change the ballast to that side Xenon where air filter locates. Yesterday was dark and I did not see the ballast. What is the right way to go down there. Should I remove the air filter ass. or remove the lamp to achieve the ballast. Just asking to avoid stupid work.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: 12V Pumps in Cooling System

« on: 31 October 2022, 17:55:28 »

Sure, those tests already done. I get 0.4V when the pump should run and 0V when not. Actually everything works fine except pump which does not get current. Pump is ok, tested it with outer 12V source. When engine hot and cabine and outside cold and ignition off when I press 'Auto' the climate panel comes on, fan start to rotate and pre-set tempratures can be seen. the fan is on perhaps 3 minutes and then slowly goes off. I guess that this happens due to the reason that pump is not running and heater matrix becomes cold. That is what I believe. Does the system know what is the air temperature blowed to cabin?

On the other hand: when engine cold, cabin cold and garage cold (all in same temp) and ignition off nothing happens when I press 'Auto'.

One thing came to my mind. I tested the pin 19 only with ohm meter and the resistance was "about" zero. With these cheap digital meters results close to zero are difficult. Perhaps I shoulf feed 12V to that pin and check whether the pump starts to rotate then. If there is a bad contact somewhere the resistance can be close to zero when not real current going through but when there is real load the voltage drops. Like when you have bad earth somewhere e.g in tail light. When only tail light on it illuminates but when you press brake pedal both goes 'off'.

Thanks, then no problem to change if jut plug and play. Interesting is that this car was registered in Feb. 2001 and the panel is made in 2002. I bought this car Jan 2004 (driven 45000km) and it had issue with heater so the seller(VW dealer) took it to local GM dealer and it was repaired for me free of charge. So the panel really is a part which can fail.

Found several spares but still two questions:

1. Which numbers are important here? Upper one is mine, 69382201 is same in both others not. Does this matter?
2. Do I need programming/Tech2 etc. if changed?

I once measured 0.014Amps. Theoretically 0.014*24*30=10Ah in a month if I calculated right (usually not). Then I could guess 4 months instead of 4 weeks but not tested.
