2006 mk2 headlights not working , no relay click

Featured Replies

Hi 

I've tried reading through but can't find the answer , my headlights low beam are not working , side lights , main beam working .

When i use stork for main beam I can hear relay click in foot Well,  when I use headlights no relay click , ( tried friends same model and can hear it ) I checked the connection at headlight with multimeter with no readings ( confirmed side lights with a reading back ) I've looked and looked for Headlight relay but can not find it anywhere , are there any relays in actual fuse panel ? 

All fuses are ok too and bulbs replaced

Most relays of the GEM module/fusebox are SMD relays that are soldered directly onto the circuit board. Officially these relays are not considered to be a serviceable part. In case of a defect Ford prescribes to replace the complete GEM module/fuse box.

The GEM module/fuse box however can easily be disassembled. Once disassembled the particular relay can be desoldered from the circuit board and a new relay can be soldered in place. If you do not have the skills/equipment to do this yourself I suggest to find yourself a local radio/TV repair shop that can do the repair for you.

Hi 

Just incase reads this with the same problem in the future , it was the Relay , I stripped the fuse panel apart , but was a bit to difficult for my skills , so I found a replacement fuse panel on EBay for £28 and this did the trick , replacementwas very straight forward , unplug cables pull out and new one in
