Default Headlight (low beam) not working (Nissan Tino 1.8, 2001)

Also, I was surprised to find no 'headlight relay' for a Nissan Tino
being offered on eBay.


I'd be surprised if it used two relays for dip beam. No reason they'd be
on separately. Of course if it has a CAN bus system, all bets are off.


I can;t see any ref to a CAN system in the Haynes manual.

Chris Whelan (in an adjecent reply that I couldn;t respond to within this
group for some reason) sent an image of the other relay box. While the
relays in my box in that location didn't correspond to the ones in the
image, I took them all out and the working lowbeam headlight still
switched on and off, so I guess it's none of those.

I'm baffled! SURELY Nissan would put a headlight relay in a place that's
easy to locate, wouldn't they??

There is nothing in the car's handbook about relays. And Haynes shows a
circuit diagram, but not the actual location of the relays.

ALL I can find is a MAIN relay (presumably meaning main beam) but that has
no effect when I remove it.
