Unhappy electrical head light issue..

Hey everyone thanks for checking out this thread..

Well I dropped my jspec in my 87 rx7 t2 and everything is goings well but.. my headlights started acting pocessed.. going on and off as they pleased even when the switch wasnt on parking lights or on the headlights.. i had to pull the negitive off the battery so i wouldnt kill my battery.. but for the past week the shut off and havent came back on and they dont seem to ever want to come back again..

STEPS IVE TAKEN AT THIS POINT:

I got a new headlight relay from mazda... no change there.
New fuse for under the hood.. no change there either.
Got a used headlight switch from ebay... same thing..
My next move might just be the dimmer relay..

Anyone have this issue or am I alone with this.

One other thing.. i dont not have any of the wires going to the transmission hooked up and i dont think that plays a role in the reason behind my headlights but i just thought i'd throw that out there..

you have a bad earth, thats whats causing the problem. Connect them up and double check you havent missed any, and it should solve your problems
