Hey! electical question

Whats up guys Im Greg from Rochester, Ny i just recently bought a 1989 Chevy Camaro RS with the 305. Ive ran into only one problem... The Headlights, and gauge cluster lights do not wanna work.. i havent done much research into this but im in the process of testing the Light switch, and fuse is fine.. is there anything else i should check? (im not too familiar with Chevy...all ive had was shitty 4 bangers) so any help would be appreciated.. thanks!!



BTW i only paid $750 for it

Welcome to the board, it is most likely a faulty head light dimmer switch. Do a search for head light dimmer switch and it will guide you through the removal and installation process. BTW good deal on the Camaro, post a pic.

second of all, that is a crazy good deal you found there, i almost bought an '86 camaro from a guy named greg in fairport near rochester for $600, but there was a $900 lein on the car and there was a sunroof cut in the top of it with no glass, no rust on the car though.

and last but not least, look on ebay for the dimmer switch or check out modern day muscle, a sponsor of the board should be over here>>>

good luck with your camaro, and post up some more pics!
