Problem with horn and High Beam

Post by johnny778 »

After having my rocco recently stolen whilst I was getting the repairs done to the steering column my mechanic pointed out that I when you turn high beam on, the drivers side light goes out and I have no horn. The fuse is ok and the horn is not faulty as its been tested seperately. Any ideas? I'm a compete novice when it comes to techie stuff.

Cheers in advance

I vaguely remember that someone on here had similar symptoms a while back, and it turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. Could have been damaged in the breakin?
