To be honest I should have started this a while ago.
Background on the car (condensed version): I bought it out of a field from a tow truck driver who removed from the garage of a house which was being busted by police for drugs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) The landlord took the car for rent due and called the tow truck to store it and then he disappeared. All we know is the car sat in the field for at least a year and the grass was up to the fender. End condensed version of the background. I have had the car for about 3 years and I am still learning new things each day about it that deserve a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) or two. Here are some early pics: POR 15 only works if you don't look beyond the surface... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

So, we left this interesting thing alone for a bit and tried to figure out why the headlights didn't work. The only lights that worked were the hazards, the engine light and the trunk light.
Apparently, it had something to do with this. So, we fixed it. The headlights still didn't work. The PO was jumping the psgr's light to the driver's light to try to get the headlights to work. It didn't. Long story short, the main power lead to the driver's headlight had broken somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. We ran a new yellow wire to the driver's headlight and voila the headlights worked. After this I got a new rain tray from a member here because mine was cracked out and letting a lot of water in. |
