914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Driving lights stopped working...

Posted by: advman89 Apr 20 2022, 07:45 AM

My big winter project--dash rebuild was going great. Been very careful with the wiring over the last couple months.

I had everything in place, but once I got the switches back in, my driving lights are not coming on. The dash switch lights up. Headlights are operational.

I quickly checked for any loose connections, but didn't see anything. I have checked all the fuses (I have the updated blade fuse panel).

Any places to start?

sooooooo close....

First thing, check to see if you've got voltage at the lights, If you can't pull a connector apart, just stick a pin into the insulation to contact the wire within using a multi-meter.
If nothing there go back to fuze panel.

this has happened to me a couple times, one time it was loss of ground connection at the fog/driver lights, one has been a slightly loose connection on the switch, and other was a bad light switch.
