Lights

Some help please.. lights

Have come a long way on the rebuild but believe it or not have had only one problem so far that that getting under the skin... Head lights and turn signals I have NONE..

I do have all other lights though interior,marker running lights,tail lights, brake lights and so on..

But no head lights high beams or turn signals have traced most things and believe it to be the turn signal high beam dimmer switch.

ANY Help?

The wiring in the S-30 car is quite simple and easy to trace out, especially if something doesn’t work at all. With a decent wiring diagram, even the Haynes manual has a decent wiring diagram, trace the wiring from the battery to the lights, through the switches, relays, fuses, connectors and back to the body earth. Now, with that traced out, use your test light and verify power at various points along the wiring path in your car for those items. Find if they have common element such as fusible link, etc which could help narrow down your search.

 

You should have power at the battery, so start tracing there and at various points till you get to he point there is NO more power and then you will know the ISSUE is between the last point you had power and the point you don’t have power. Unless there is more than one issue any how.

 

Good luck.

And you may have power to the lights, and still not work because the switch does not send power to the lights, it provides the ground. One of the places that is easy to lose the ground is at the firewall connection in the passenger side footwell. If you have ever had a leak in the heater core it has a tendancy to drip there causing corrosion at that plug. Like Braap said- just start testing it out and see where you lose power. Good luck,

Found the problems, light switch and faulty ground at the fire wall all is well.
