On my 10AE. I've fucked with just about every part of the car since the last time I used them, including even pulling them. The wires are connected but whenI flip the switch only the parking light comes on, the headlights will not pop-up or turn on. If I use the brights lever, the high-beam indicator on the dash does not light and the bulbs do not light either.

Any idea what's going on here? is there an under-dash fuse to check? I don't have a fuse cover but all the underhood fuses seem to be OK.

 

did you meter the headlight fuse under the hood???

Sounds like it is blown

 

my multimeter is MIA, none of the fuses "look" blown but I'll find it and check with the multimeter tomorrow.

Is there anything else it could be?

 

a disconnected or bad dimmer relay

 

When my headlights didn't work right it was the switch. When I turned them on they would only work with my brights on and if I didn't have the brights on they wouldn't stay up. Once I replaced the switch they worked fine.

 

Yeah, but you should have been able to flash your headlights with the dimmer switch in the turn signal, if just the headlight switch was bad.

If both the headlight switch and the highbeam dimmer is not working then it is something related to power to the relay or wiring to the relay or bad lights, or bad ground to the bulbs.

 

so I swapped every fuse with the parking light one just to make sure they all work, and they do.

So it's not that.

I can swap my headlight switch but I don't think it is the problem.

Where's the dimmer relay at? Is it on the driver's side firewall corner of the engine bay? I have a feeling that may be the problem.. I'll check today and post back. I moved a relay or something in that corner when I ran my new + cable and don't think I put it back.

 

under the hood infront of the radiator mounted to the support bar

 

F-25

 

F-25 is plugged in and appears to be working. I have disconnected the a/c since the last time the headlights worked.
