Ex Telstra/fleet?If so it's probably got the lights-on module installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastika Member 47 Member For: 15y 4m 27d Posted 11/02/11 01:45 AM Share Posted 11/02/11 01:45 AM I want to know about this as well !!!!Have been having my fair share of electrical issues - mainly the indicator stalk/combination switch issue (solved), but now I'm having the exact same problem WayneAdo. I know for a fact that my car is an ex-Telstra car (BF MKII XR6 N/A) but regardless of the setting, the low beams just seem to be staying on. At first I didn't mind it but for the past few days I've had to do a number of rolling starts in order to get the engine going because there isn't enough left in the battery.I'll probably end up replacing the battery one way or another but is there a way to undo this option?What can I do, any ideas???

These wires power up the headlights on module, just disconnect them and your headlights operation will be back to normal.**************************************************************************** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastika Member 47 Member For: 15y 4m 27d Posted 11/02/11 08:26 AM Share Posted 11/02/11 08:26 AM Took a look and can see the brown connector with plenty of wires is it a specific wire that has to be taken out or the entire brown connectorTaking it to ford will be a last resort as I have had some bad experiences with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
