My headlights both highbeam and low beam are no longer working. It doesn't even display the highbeam light on the dash anymore. My parkers work though.
As well as that my A/C is no longer working. As the A/C and headlight fuses are next to each other I'm thinking fuses but how do I check the fuses thay are solid and coloured? |

you might need to see if one of the bulbs have blown for the high/low beam as this could stop the other one from working, as for the air con check the gas maybe other than that a trip to a auto elec might be in order.

You can check fuses visually. They are usually see through and you can see if the metal part has broken.
If its a relay, try putting a relay from another part of the car in there and testing it. |

You also had the ABS problem didn't you? Did that get sorted, if not I think you may have some pretty bad electrical dramas going on that would be causing all of this.

I fixed the problem. Apparently the headlights are wired through the ABS fuse so a new ABS fuse got them working perfectly again.
