Main dipped headlights not working

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I've read everything everyone has posted, and understand it. Putting it in to action is a bit harder.

Spent all day on the car and I have found the following, which I hope someone can direct me towards where the problem may well be...

Taking readings from the dimmer head light switch.

Ignition on - lights off (pushed in fully)
Brown - 0v
Green with white stripe - 0v
Black with white stripe - 12v
Green lime - 0v
Yellow (2 cables) - 0v
pink - 12v
Yellow Black stripe - 0v
-------------------
Ignition on - side lights lights (pulled out 1 step)
Brown - 5v
Green with white stripe - 5v
Black with white stripe - 5v
Green lime - 0v
Yellow (2 cables) - 0v
pink - 5v
Yellow Black stripe - 5v
-------------------
Ignition on - dipped lights lights (pulled out 2 steps, fully out)
Brown - 5v
Green with white stripe - 5v
Black with white stripe - 5v
Green lime - 5v
Yellow (2 cables) - 0v
pink - 5v
Yellow Black stripe - 0v.


The lime green wire on the dimmer switch looked burnt, I have fixed this now but something has happened here.


pulling the dimmer switch out, 1 or 2 notches makes the lime green lime on the foot switch live with 12v (when disconnected from the foot switch)
HOWEVER, when you plug this in to the foot switch, the 12v stops.... ?!?!?! how what huh...

To clarify, Wipers not working, indicators not working, horn working, 12v at fuses all fine... where is the problem guys ? :(

You have some MAJOR ground and contact issues.
