OK, I know enough about elec. to test a few things so here is what I found once home from Okteenerfest.
Fog lights, driving lights, whatever you want to call them just quit working. The pull knob lights up I get 12v in the front trunk at the connection from the main harness. (that is with the connection separated) {with all wire connected, I get no reading} Grounds have continuity there too. I did not get 12 volts once I took the light apart, not the bulb holder, just the light was apart and I used an alligator clip to ground it. No volts. If I remove the alligator clip from the hanging light in the picture below and put the red lead of the VM on the white/ylw wire at the bulb holder THEN the black lead of the VM to a bolt on the car..... I get 12 volts. So with the bulb holder or the complete fixture assembled and grounded I get nothing. What is going wrong here?  |
