I've tried to work this out, I've done searches, but i'm still stuck.
Headlights work fine on low-beam. Click to high-beam and nothing. I can hear clicking at the relay which has been switched out and I don't think is the problem. Fuses are all good. Indicator light on the speed-o only come on when just the parking lights are on (knob pulled out one click} Could this be the headlights themselves? or do i just have some f-ed up wiring. Things look pretty normal at the fuse board. |

Mike, Dan, etc. I had the same issue when I installed James' new fusebox and replaced some relays. (Note to self: never change two things at once). James was kind enough to babysit me through checking out the wiring (and, by the way, swapping wires would result in each of your problems) but for me, it turned out that the #$%^%@ Auto Zone relay would only operate when vertical.
So try rotating the relay when operating the bright flasher and see what happens. |
