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. |

there are 2 gremlins that may or may not help with your specific issues. when i first got my car running everything worked. i took the rear bumper off and on and the high beams fuse blew every time after that . the lead wires to the license plate lights were chaffed through and shorting to the body. the wire terminals are very close together and you need the check the insulation on the wire ends too. i had a nagging low battery after longer drives. the gen light never came on when the key was turned to the first position. bulb was bad. replaced it and all was fine. when you say the grounds at the buckets i take it you mean the multiple brown wire bundles on the back side.
