Highbeam dash light stays on
I was experiencing electrical problems and found that the fuse box had a big crack through it. I replaced the fuse box, labelling every wire before
taking them off and re-connecting them to the new fuse box.
All the lights, turn signals and accessories work perfectly, but the blue highbeam dash light stays on whether the lights are on parkers, driving
lights or high beam.
I've checked the bulb, the wiring diagram to make sure it's connected to the right terminal, and the highbeam wire is comletely insulated, no bare
bits. So what could be causing the light to stay on the dash?
Cheers.

The hi beam light wire is a small gauge blue/white trace, and comes from a high beam fuse (white wire). If this is definately correct at the fuse box
where you've been, I can only think that the wrong bulb holder is in the high hole in the speedo, maybe a instrument back light.

The thing is the speedo was not touched. All i did was label the wires at the fuse box, disconnect them, then attach them to new fuse box. High beam
dash light was working perfectly before doing this and everything else is working as normal.

maybe a slight difference between the two fuse boxes?

The pilot light just piggy backs off the left high beam so whatever the left high beam does the pilot light does.
Trace the wire from the bulb back to the fuse box, sounds like you either have the wire on the fuse for the parkers or like matt said its feeding from
the speedo lights.
