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. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif 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?

hmm i had a switch go out like that once. i had to short a wire to do it though. i wonder if maybe you dont have a short between the hig hand low beams?

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. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

But instead lower thine eyes in humble respect,

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

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

He's probably off *****ing at a different site...... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Finally got around to messing with the lights today. It was a ground. Smog Fighter, your the man. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif Actually it wasn't a broken ground, but just was not getting a good enough ground. 20 year old wiring definately leads to corrosion in the wiring. Put 2 new ground wires in and "let there be light".

Thanks guys! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
