I've got a problem with my headlights, they won't come on. The lights come up and all other lights work. Tried putting in other bulbs and still nothing. I don't have any fusible links to go out. 2nd gen fuse block, all fuses look good, but missing cover so I'm not sure which one is for the headlights. Also the high beam indicator comes on when the lights are turned on or the flashers and left turn signal are used.

The only thing I can think of is the switch itself, but wouldn't the rest of the lights not work if it was bad?Any ideas?

Thanks. It's definately got me stumped. I think I can get another switch tomorrow from my friend to test with. At least if thats not the problem, then I'll definately know it's in the wiring. Basically a PITA.

And look to the ground. For that is where you will find the openness of

ones connections to many objects. ......

Basically, find X-15 and your soul will be illuminated once again.



I love it when I get philosophical, it brings a tear to my eye
