evo 5 head lights

[evosmudge]

hi all
I own a evo 5, my issue is, when i turn the lights on to main beam i get full beam, i have changed the stalk and the fuse and relay in engine bay, does anyone else know anything else i can look at before calling an auto electrician.

Check the switch on the lever, also the ETACS unit, find one from a friend and replace it, see if problem goes away. This is not a problem caused by the relay or fuse, these are there to only power up the lights and protect from further damage to circuitry and wiring in case of overloading.

The forum will not allow me to attach you a link to help you with ETACS. It is located behind the secondary fuse box inside the car on the driver's side.

Hi marios

I guess the colour of it is silver as found some pics of one and it shows its silver. is it a case of just unplug and replace for another with out doin any reprograming.

It is a rectangular box at the specific location, colour is not of any signifigance. You can reset/change some of the settings through the tactrix cable via the OBD2 port, but in regards to your problem I do not think you have that option as it is a malfunction of a part. If it is indeed the Etacs box itself the problem, it should go away by replacing the unit. The evo 4,5,6 units are inter-changeable, so are the 7,8,9 ones. You need to remove the plugs from it, unbolt it and replace.
