Cleaning the contacts and replacing the bulbs is easy.
If that doesn't work look at all the fuses and relays (one of them may have blown) and if that doesn't work just get a wiring diagram. Don't bring it to a shop. Depending on the year of your car, Pelican Parts has some good wiring diagrams for a few years. A circuit tester is really cheap, like sub $10 (go to radio shack, they should have some). You don't even really need a voltmeter. Then just go through each wire on the diagram. Its really easy and just takes some time. Edit: Damn, Bruce beat me and get one of the things he's talking about. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) This post has been edited by jd74914: Mar 13 2005, 06:20 PM |
