Guest klasik240 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I was wondering if the voltage regulator is in anyway connected to the fusebox. Maybe this could be the problem Here's the situation. All my lights work except for my headlamps. The left turnsignal just stays on. Right turnsignal takes a few seconds to get blinking. Last thing i remember was revving the car high to get it started and then the lamps go out. (car was in bad shape) I check the connections and all are well(some with high resistance). The lamps work when i hotwire it for a test. Did i blow some sort of relay/volt regulator? Anyhow, i am going to clean all connectors associated with the headlamps. And i think im in need of a blinker switch. I'll see from there Just want to know if anyones had this problem before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY260Z Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I'm using a Painless harness and trying to use the old combo switch. So I trace out the wires from the switch. Mine is a 260 so it may be slightly different. I'm pretty sure the power goes to the light switch from the alt or 'shunt' (large white/red)When the lights are turned on power goes to the fuse box to fuse the 2 head lights. From there it goes to the lights, then comes back to the dimmer switch and is grounded to complete the circuit by a large black wire. You could have a bad ground or the combo switch(on the right side of column) American cars ground the lights at the head light so its confusing. You might try getting a Hayne's manual and trace out the connections to get all the possible faults. Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Shasteen Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 The power source for the headlights definately go to the combo switch first, then when the combo switch's headlight switch is turned on-your headlamp fuse should be powered. If you are not getting bat+ 12volts to your head light switch feed wire then your fuse box headlamp circuit will also be dead (no voltage) when the switch is turned on. You definately need to obtain a wiring schematic of your car. I dont know how easy it is to follow the Haynes, Motors, or Chilton manual's diagrams but that would be the first step: obtain the manual, a factory manual is always best) and identify the wiring circuit-then begin your tracing and always make sure your ground wires are making a good contact.
