I have a 2002 Falcon AUIII station wagon ex-taxi which has an issue with the headlights.

Basically my normal driving lights and parkers are functioning fine.

But when I activate high beam lights, my normal driving lights will turn off and the high beam won't activate either... only the parkers stay on. Revert to normal and the driving lights + parkers are on again.

If i was to "flash" the high beams using the stalk... I'd get nothing at all.

Would this be a light bulbs issue or am I looking into a relay issue. Mine you, this car was mistreated by its previous owner and was never cleaned/washed... should have seen the amount of dirt and leaves i sprayed off it with my karcher high pressure sprayer.

Rego is due in two weeks so I kinda need this fixed... along with the front left ABS sensor that's activating the ABS light permanently according to the mechanic.

Thanks!

Its probably the high beam relay because my ef did yhis a few weeks ago and I put a new relay in and its been fine ever since,

i had a issue like that after playing with my combination switch (whole indicator and wiper stalk assembly) if you could get another on to try that would be my guess...

i guess you could try ruling out the switch with a multi meter if you could be bothered...

def a relay

as the realy is designed to cut eh driving lights and turn on the high beams

doubt the stalk would be casuing it


ohh also check the globes!

as for the abs sensor

pull the wheel off and u will see it behind the rotor bet ya it is full of metal filings, as i a magnet

clean them off

Where can I get a relay from? are they like shelf parts which I can get from say super cheap auto?
Or are they a specific item which only Ford sell?

yer super s**t or any auto store will have them

I have a similar problem with low beam, was flickering on and off all last night and now today i dont have any low beam, only parkers and high beam.

i have the 2001 falcon AU series II i believe,

basicly i can be driving along fine @ night with the lights working fine, but every now and then when i activate the hi-beams they will stick even when i completely shut off the car and turn the lights off. the only way i can actually get them to de-activate is to pop the hood and open the fuse relays and pull out the hi-beam fuse itself. however, it still stays on even after re connecting the relay.

i know i should take it to an sparkie but can anyone point me into the right direction to do it myself?
