my car is without a relay box and my fuse panel may be a little jacked up, so I will be replacing it. I am checking my lights using a battery charger which seems to be putting out about 9.2 volts.
I've pulled my headlight motors cause i will be running my car with lights UP all the time. when I pull my headlight switch out, I get tail lights, front amber and front side amber, but no head lights. I was wondering if the power to the headlight motors in part of the ciurcuit to make the head lights function? when I pull my emergency light switch, I hear a buzz in its flasher, maybe its flasher is no good. i turned ignition key and did see my wipers work, but real slow, i'm guessing 9 volts is not quite cutting it. yeah, i am missing a few fuses, got a big pack on oprder from an ebay seller.

The headlight motor wires are only for the headlight motors. They have switches in the linkage, but that is only to tell the motor when to stop spinning.
The headlights themselves are powered by the fuse panel. One fuse each for: left low beam, right low beam, left high beam, right high beam. I believe those are fuses 1-4. (I could have the order wrong.) Those fuses get their power from the high/low relay on top of the fuse panel, which gets its power from the headlight switch, which gets its power from the ignition switch. I strongly suggest you dig up the wiring diagram for your car before you go messing with things more. --DD |
