Headlight Questions

Don't know how a massive current draw by the headlights could not blow a fuse, but there seems to be a connection.
Hello 911monty,

thanks – so maybe we have more than one symptom / one problem.

@jpc763: 13,8 Volt is the correct voltage value when engine is running. Seems that generator and regulator are healthy. Problem with the starter battery could be a upcoming short cell circuit of one battery cell. Means the battery collapses under load.

@Nine8Six: Good that you're back on this forum!

Did you see in jpc763's video that the HIDs tried to start. Why would they do that if the headlight switch is not working? Bad connection? As far as i know there is a relay between switch and headlamps.

Regards, Markus
