Hey guy's, just got in my car to take a drive, pulled the headlight knob and got nothing but front/side markers and tail lights. No head lights. Does the headlights run on a separate fuse that my have blown or what might cause that?
I would check the fusible link at the starter. The fusible link is a short piece of wire that's meant to burn up if there's a short. There's one for just the headlights and one for everything else. If you search for fusible link on the site, there are a lot of informative threads about it. Your local auto parts store should have fusible links in stock
Thanks Hugger I tried doing the slam, tap, wiggle, tug, twist treatment lol and didn't get anything unfortunately. I'm from the country so that was the first thing I tried.
Thanks Jason I'm going to try that and see if it works. From what I've been reading it may be that link. i'll probably have that professionally done though electrical is not really my forte.
Are you sure that you don't have two burnt out bulbs? Or a bad ground at the headlights? Check the easy stuff first.
Yes when I turn on my head lights all 4 normally comes on, when I turned them on last night none of the 4 came on. I'll check the ground.
All you have to do is look under the car at the starter wires and see of one of the links is burnt to a crisp
X2 on the dimmer switch. Had one go bad while driving at night, and had no lights. Had to use the flashers to see the way home.
Guys yall aren't going to believe this... I guess 1973gs was right, check the simple stuff first! I'm such a newbie this stuff (classic cars). So I was in the car, accidentally stepped on that button on the floor under the E-brake and BOOM. We have lights... I feel so dumb right now lol. I suppose it was a learning moment. Or at least that's what i'm going to call it.
I guess so I'm going to order some tomorrow and see. Maybe that's wht I always had 4 headlights instead of 2.
