stock FD '93 (gen 3) headlights don't rotate or light from turn signal stalkOur 93 RX7 gen 3 just developed this problem. The headlights don't rotate or light from turn signal stalk switch, although the switch on the dash (manual headlight rotate) will still cause the headlights to rotate (only).

The turn signal stalk switch still turns on the parking lights and works the turn signals.

I've seen several posts on similar issues but they seem to refer to after market kits.

 

I'm not good with electrical issues. I like dealing with them about as much as Osama Bin Laden liked ham sandwiches. But if you scroll down you'll find the 93 Electrical Manual which might give you a place to start....

You may have a problem with the headlight relays. There are two relays related to the headlights. One powers the actuator motors; and the other sends power to the lights themselves, as well as the previously mentioned relay that drives the actuator motors. Since you said that the headlights don't come on at all I'd check the "headlight" relay in the relay box at the very front of the car. Might as well check the main headlight fuse as well.


***Edit*** Your headlight fuse is good if the manual dash button still works to pop up the lights, even if they don't illuminate.

 

Wow! Thanks, XanderCage. Been so busy, haven't had a chance to use all this good info. Will let you know...

 

Thank you! Will download it, better than fishing in the dark...
