Has anyone experienced a condition where the headlights come on when the headlight switch is pulled one notch our for what should be parking lights only. New condition and I cannot seem to figure out why. Nothing new or weird under the fuse panel that I know of?
Jim suggested that it might be the relay on the back of the fuse panel? Any thoughts or direction would be appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

good tips both (or all three) / thanks for the insight / I got the headlight motors and all light functions front and back including fogs and rally lights up front to work / except for the high beams. I know the bulbs are good. I exchanged the switch with another switch and no change to lack of high beams......... \\ maybe a bad relay on the engine bay board / /??
So Mike.: Which relay is the high/low relay if I read your comment correctly? Thanks and to 76-914: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) We are working on a change of salt air.... it takes time to find the right next move. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Hi/lo relay is on the fuse panel. Red/white stripe wire, white wire, yellow wire and brown with stripe (white or yellow I've seen both types). Square usually silver in color. Red wire comes from headlight switch, yellow and white go to the headlight fuses. brown wire comes from the steering column. |
