Almera Tino QG18DE 2001 - Side and dip lights not switching off #

Posted by Chris Angus on January 21, 2016, 10:21 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2001
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: QG18DE

Does anyone have a lighting wiring diagram for this?
Car came in two months ago with lights staying on, I diagnosed it as a faulty column switch, it was replaced with nissan part and fixed.
Now it's come back with same fault, looks like the switch has gone again, I'm assuming maybe too much current running through causing it to overheat and burn the contacts together, but I've checked all the light circuits current draw and they all look ok 4.5a on each dip and 4a for all sidelights together.
If I put a new switch on I have a feeling it will do same again.

Any ideas anyone?

I would be surprised if they were not relayed?

No Relays on this model Andy, models with daytime running lights have relays.
I have a wiring diagram now and the power is straight through the switch to the bulbs.
Car is at nissan now as they won't replace the switch under warranty until they've checked it, they are saying there are two types of switch and which did we fit? No idea I said, the one they supplied. No doubt this is going to bite me on the arse.
