Ratty Intermediate Member Offline Posts: 294 Coventry Gender: Drives: '99 Omega 2.5 V6 CDX Mini-facelift Estate	WANTED: Headlight Switch 18. Aug 2009 at 08:33 Hi, Does anyone have a headlight switch for a '99 2.5 mini-facelift? I've tried in various places and keep getting sent the wrong one, it needs to have both fog light switches (front and rear) and also the headlight leveller. Thanks

Have you still got your 'lights-left-on-buzzer'? Reason for asking is that my car has the buzzer in the passenger footwell, others, including our Astra G's, have the buzzer built into the light switch somewhere.
HAve you still got the old swich? Try re-fitting that & see what happens to your lights, I'd be looking at the rheostat Undecided

yep the 'lights left on' buzzer is still there, from the sound of it it's built into the switch, I have still got the old switch but the dash lights don't work with that now either, they did before I swapped the switches.

I'm thinking it is the rheostat, but what are the chances of both switches failing with the same fault? gonna try a local vauxhall breakers in the morning see if he has any switches and try another one, if that doesn't sort it out then I think it'll be a job for an experienced auto electrician, just saying that makes my wallet tremble Sad

I seem to remember someone saying about the contacts that the switch pushes into, have you checked that one isn't bent or pushed out the back as like you say odd to see 2 switches suddenly go the same way especially as the first one worked the lights OK Undecided

.

PS. When i swapped mine the one i received to replace it didn't have the locating pins on it(not broken, just made without)and was a hell of a job to line up all the pins which were slightly twisted Roll Eyes

Aug 2009 at 08:51 I'll have a look at the back of the connector again in a while, I did have a quick look at whether any terminals had pushed through but another check won't hurt. Both switches went in with hardly any drama, nice tight but not too tight fit Thanks

Aug 2009 at 13:05 Had a look and it all looks okay to me, went to a local breaker and tried another switch but still no joy I've booked it into a local auto sparks on Wednesday to be diagnosed.

Apparently I need a headlight switch with an Ident MP part number = 90566851 (and possibly 904379679) as it appears it's specific to my chassis range anyone got one? I think the Ident is more important so long as it has both fogs and the leveller. Fingers crossed Thanks

thanks I've been told that it doesn't make any difference what ident it is as long as it has the correct switches etc on it, but Vauxhall say that only the ident MP would work, I have a problem with my dash lights and I've got 2 switches here that are different Idents than my original switch and the dash lights still don't work, general consensus among those helping me to cure the problem is that it's a fault on the car, but if I can get the correct ident and part number unit then at least it eliminates the possibility that it's an incompatible switch.
