Lights snag, any ideas folks??
Discussion
Hi folks,
Weird occurence.....
Car is an E39 528i touring.
The offside full beam light is staying on whether the lights are on or off. Other lights are not affected, and it can't be controlled by the lightswitch....it just decided it was going to illuminate itself, and that's it.
So, as a temporary measure I have removed the bulb.
There are no loose earths, the other connections are fine, is it a module thingy somwehere? Now I know my alfa and TVR are supposed to do this, that I could accept and indeed expect (athough they haven't done anything wrong )
Stumped silverback, can anyone cast a light on what's going on.
Thanks folks, for now....

Jeez. I have an identical car, happily free from this problem. I'm reasonably good at electrics but wouldn't have guessed that one in a million years. The miracle that is PH!
The only electrical problem I have had is the various tail lamp bulbs seem to oxidise their contacts and stop working unless you give the lamp a belt or the bulb a wiggle. Brake lamp bulbs blow fairly regularly too (but not as often as on a Renault Espace....) Main dealer brake lamp bulbs last much longer than Halfrauds.
