Hi Guys,
Sorry to post another Dipped beam issue but I've searched and searched and can't find an answer to my issue. Basically putting back my 1991 325i sport together after been restored. Every works apart from the dipped beams, I have checked all the earth's under the glovebox and on inner wing. It's a UK spec car so have checked the 2 orange relays under the glove box, checked and replaced the dipped beam relay and checked it's the correct 5 pin relay. I'm not getting any power at the fuses, have tried another headlight switch.
Anyone had anything similar? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I cant remember off the top of my head if the dipped is part of the unloader relay circuit but do you have the starter motor connected? Particularly the Black/Green on the 5mm stud, if not earth that wire and then try the lights again

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes double checked all the wiring to the starter and it's all good. Took them off cleaned the connections and put them back on but still no joy
