headlights
ok most likely a dumb question but i dont care. my headlights dont work i think its electrical becouse when i hold high they work when i turn high on the dont work when i turn them on normal only one works and thats not all the time. so should i look for is it going to be the stuff on the headlights in the dash ok the fuseable links or what ever there called or just good luck on my own
it is the combination switch. search combination switch theres a whole write up on how to clean it out & get them to work again. had the exact problem occuring on my car when i purchased it.
ok i went looked it up did what it said and same prob going to try it again soon lol but first i want to ask something when i took the plastic around it off where the wireing is there was 2 not pluged in and we cant find where they plug in there both diff one is 4 prong 2 top 2 botton and the other um think it was 2 on top 1 botton(or side to side somthing like that). and then there was one pluged in. anyone know what this is or where it goes.
I vote for a bad combination switch. On one of my cars the head lights would work but when you push it forward fot the high beams it would not work...BUT if you pull it forward to flash, it would...
Replaced the switch and everything works fine now.

A new combination switch will be $250+, which is why everyone cleans and fixes their worn units. Do the search, there was one that had the wiring diagram links right in it.
Can't be more specific, I'm at work right now.

You really need to get a Hayne's manual or print one of the .pdf files linked elsewheres in this section of the Forum for your car's wiring diagram before you ground some circuit and blow a fusible link or fuse and really get confused as to why nothing wants to work. If you don't have one or any kind of paperwork, stop what y'all are doind ASAP before you cause any damage!
if those wires are unplugged, and don't match up, they probibly dont go together. could be a connector for a non-existant option on your car, such as a rear window wiper, or washer. I remeber when i had my colum cover off there was at least 1 unplugged connection. One thing, is that cleaning your switch may not work. I cleaned the hell outta mine, only to have it not work. so i removed it from the car, opened it up, & cleaned, even sanded the contacts. Still no luck. so i bought one from a local you pull it junk yard for cheap (6 dollars if i remeber right), sprayed a bit of the electronics cleaner in it, while it was out, and put it in the car. head lights have worked ever since. so ya if this doesnt fix your problem, do try buying another swithc. make sure you check that the bulbs aren't burned out as well, dont wanna waiste your time on the wrong part. untill then, just dolnt drive at night, lol. good luck man
i replaced my fusible links under the hood with pink and yellow fuses you can easily find at pep boys, someone found out these work and there is an old thread about it...if that means anything to anyone, mine have worked fine for a long time like this now....
