full beam not working!

[fletcher1986]

i recently got a clio mk2 ph2 172 and just noticed tonight that my full beam doesn't work at all, not even the blue full beam light.

car has xenon headlights if this makes any difference. i have read about the stalk replacement,the stalk clicks as it should when u pull it back but nothing happens.

have checked the fuses and they are fine. anyone had this problem and got to the bottom of it?

another thing i have noticed is that when i lock the car the cd/radio lights stay on (standard cd player) is this normal?

anyone?

Check the relays behind the glove box, one may be loose

thanks. any advice on the cd player lights staying on even when lights are off and doors are locked?

where exactly are these relays? i had a look just now but can't see any block type relays, the car has a toad alarm so i think the wiring has been fiddled with. should i see them by looking under the glovebox dash area?

ok i have checked the relays this morning, one or two were loose but didn't solve my problem,

fuses are fine, the stalk clicks as it should and all other lights work just not high beam.

anything else i can try? is it likely to be the stalk? most other post iv'e read about stalks seems to be about the dipped beam not working. would it be the same with high beam?

someone must have had this problem! doesn't sound like the usual stalk issue so does anyone know what relay powers the high beam?

 

[fletcher1986]

changed stalk today and no change. anyone know what relay is for high beam?

there must be some electrical gurus on this forum.

 

[fletcher1986]

still haven't got to the bottom off this, so far i have,
changed the stalk
changed the bulbs
checked relays with battery and multimeter
there is no power getting to the high beam fuses so i guess this is why they don't work, but does anyone know of reasons there is no power getting to the high beam fuses? dipped beam fuses recieve power normally.
can someone tell methe order in which the power travels to the headlight i.e stalk to fuses to relays etc.
