Hi
Hope someone can help with this please. Headlamps and central locking not working although bulbs are ok. Checked all fuses and they are fine. Took off connector to drivers side headlamp and, with lights switched on, only getting a reading of 2.1 volts. Is there anything else I can test to see why such low current? Battery good and fires up engine OK.
Seems strange that central locking affected as well as headlights!!!
All help appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have the factory fitted stereo fitted?

Was any work done or did you notice anything unusual before the fault occurred

Did both faults occur at the same time?

Which headlight bulb are you testing or is not working? (there are 3 in the headlight unit, H1, H7 and W5W for the sidelight)
