Hi!

Can anyone help me with this......

I have a 1994 Hyundai Lantra 1.5, and for the last week or so the headlights have been stuck on, even with the switch turned off, and the only way to turn them off is to remove the fuse - it's getting a bit tiresome having to replace the fuse every time I want to drive anywhere at night!!

Can anyone shed some light (excuse the pun! lol) on what may be causing this?

Hi daveyboy,

The current draw from your lights is too heavy for the wiring that goes to your switchgear inside the car.

I think you will find that the actual lighting circuit is triggered by a relay. It sounds as if the relay that controls this circuit is stuck in the on position creating a closed circuit.

It should be a fairly straightforward job for your local auto electrician to remedy.

Hoping this helps.

Cheers,

Andrew :thumbsup:
