Howdy all,

Lost the headlights a couple weeks back...the highbeam switch seemed like it wasn't clicking so I figured combo-switch. Replaced it and still I'm in the dark.
The old headlight switch was kind of notchy and I got to thinking how I've read they fail all the time...soooo I decided to replace that too...still no luck.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Vinny

 

Check your fuses, check teh grounds, and check teh fusible links on teh drivers side fenderwell under the hood.....




edit: and while you are doing all that, put them on relays!!!

Jumper-wire a bulb to see if it is shot; kinda way out there, but it is possible some weird serge, or lightening strike could have knocked out both of them.

Do you still have parking-lights ??

 

Hey thanks for the idea's,

I did jumper-wire the lights to get home that night, and put in a temporary switch (on the jumper-wire) so I had lights until I had a chance to swap-out the switch (that I thought was bad).
The headlights work fine when jumpered, and just the running lights come on when I pull the switch.

I'm thinking maybe one of the wires coming out of the plug on the headlight switch could be fubar...
