Pop N Wood Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 The stock headlight wiring is goofy. I think power is always applied to the headlights while the head light switch interrupts the grounds. Thus any chaffed wiring shorting out to the chassis (or a bad switch) will cause this problem. A bigger worry was the previous owner doing something stupid. Don't bother trouble shooting the stock wiring. Goto Pete Paraska's site and put in his headlight relay set up. His wiring diagrams are pretty clear and will make your headlights work much better. Of course there is a chance that something is shorted out, but I would think you will have a better chance of fixing such a short in the process of wiring Pete's relays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 72datsun240z Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 well the guy that had it before me was an idiot and he did mess wiring and i'm afraid that the light switch went out so he just live wired the headlights could you give me a link for that website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
