Can anybody help me with a problem with the headlight on my V-280 (Vito based minibus)?

The nearside dipped beam headlight went yesterday so I bought a new bulb (H1) and put it in but it still doesn't work - the old bulb was blown.

When tested with a multimeter there is a reading of < 2 volts.

I cannot find from the handbook which fuse might be blown, the handbook doesn't seem to list a fuse for the headlight.

Are both dipped beams on the same fuse - if so then it isn't the fuse that has gone because the driver's side is working fine.

Cheers - Russ Wood

There isn't a fusebox on the steering column....

But you sounded as though you know what you are talking about so I went to check, ther is one.

No key to what fuse is what so I checked each in turn and found one blown, replaced it and EUREKA it works.

Thanks so much - with bells on!

There is nothing in the handbook about it (or I can't find it if there is).

Do you have a key to the fuses?

Thanks again - Russ
