Yesterday morning after vsiting showroom stopped at a car decor to buy neck pillows , as my car high beam was not working asked the shop person to check, he said you have a relay in it and its not to original and on i10 they are failure ,will stop working frequently, the fuses where good and asked to check with a electrician or put the bulbs directly.
I asked it might be issue with relay and asked to put a new one, he said he have one better then philips and with 6 month warranty. It costed me Rs 800/- and 1 philips light with for Rs 200/-. which he said gone.
he took 30mins to fix all and run the cable from below the bonnet, checked there and it seems to be working all good.
started the car doesn;t crank, he said battery drain, asked to check up the battery as it is discharged within no time,
push started and i run for 20mins and cameback,
had to attend a function at 7pm, so started at 6:3opm, after 5-6 KM thought to put headlights and found not working,
On the way after running for another 5KM, stopped at a workshop and asked the person to check the Headlights.
He said initially fuses are gone and replaced them with his stock and asked to check , the LH light came up and RH side was dead, he just checked the wire and showed relay wire which was cut in two. He said sir you are lucky nothing happed.
my whole family was in with me....
he said the car decors guys doesn't know how to work, he run the wire from below and it got cut in two by touching somewhere and he fixed the wires with insulation tapes and run the wire from the above.
he said it is fine and asked to check the HL, it was working fine.
now i have doubt what is ideal place to run these wires , from below or above.
Or should i go to another mechanic.
please adivce
the car running absolutely fine now,
