I had the car for 1year now,
I never figured out,
how the hell do i switch from low to high and vice versa!?!??!?!?!

 

Pull the turn signal lever towards you.

 

funny post, but it happens to the best of us

black to grey interior swap?

i want to do a grey to black, and all of my grey pieces are in good condition (except my front seats, the usual torn spots), wanna trade? i noticed we both live in norcal, we could meet up somewhere and swap real quick, lol

 

Apeiron ty.. all of sudden i was driving with high beam and never just figured out..

Dizturbed one where u live at?
i could do a trade
but i dont have seats(they were torn up anwyays),
my headliner is saggy like shat and my carpet has some tear in it too.

basically besides that everything's in good condition,
my door panels are very mint actually.
im lookin for light gray not dark gray though so let me know
and yeah we can definately do some trade.

light gray or blueish gray.. let me know man

 

my whole interior is light grey

I live in the Sacramento area, I'm willing to drive a bit though, we'll both be one step closer to our desired interior colors, lol.

i was pretty much referring to the plastics anyways

whatever we decide is fair game is fine by me, can you take pics?

i'll get you some pics in your PM tomorrow, and we'll continue the convo that way

 

ANYWAYS...

I pulled the turn signal lever toward me,
and poo nothing happens.


what could be bad?

 

Dimmer switch out of adjustment.

The switch itself is on the top of the steering column, near the floor. There's a long rod that goes from the lever you pull on, down to the switch. 2 screws hold the switch on. Loosen them, adjust the switch along the column until it works right, tighten them back down.

 

I never knew we had a highbeam... i just normally turn on the flash light I usually have stashed since the dome light never works, for when it just gets too dark out there.

 

There are sometimes issues with the dimmer switch but the actual dimmer is sometimes not the problem. There is a pivot switch in there that often breaks and is expensive and hard to replace. When mine broke I installed a toggle switch for the high and low beams, but you could also install a floor mounted switch if infact it's not your dimmer switch that's faulty.

 

take the steering wheel.. push it DOWN towards the floor (not IN, but down.)
then while its down, pull the lever back..


when the column wears out, sometimes you have to press on the tilt mechanism (thats what you're doing with the wheel) for the high/low beam switch to click.

 

hey thanks for help guys..
i never really need high beam anyways, so if
tilting the column downward and pulling the lever doesnt work,
i might just cut the high beam wire near the headlight assembly caz I swear i never need them..

i wish our car was a bit better when it comes to electricity

 

And this would make the car better.... how??

Don't cut anything. Adjust the switch.

There's nothing wrong with these cars electrically, that's any different from any other cars. Except that too many people with too many pairs of dykes have owned them before we got them. Don't be one of those that destroys their car's electrical system deliberately, and then somehow thinks that it's the car's fault.

 

well ok ur right.. ill fix them right.
im not blaming anything chill dude.. but u gotta admit it,
i love my car but it isnt the best quality when it comes to electrical related components
and doors and stuff, thats all i meant.
but ofcourse theyre all at least 14years old so what can we expect.

 

exactly. It is age and other drivers, not the car itself.

Anyway depending on your area you will need high beams to pass inspection...i know i do.

 

Camaro/Firebird 90-93 New Turn Signal Lever w/ cruise and delay wiper - 2310854

is this something i should be looking to replace?
or is it something thats not really visible inside the column?
i tried tilting the steering column and pulling the lever but didnt work..

 

No....

That piece is about 2 feet from where the problem is. If it's not broken off, it's probably OK. Don't worry about it just yet.

Look at where the steering column meets the firewall. Follow the column up toward the wheel about 8". You'll find 2 large switches mounted on top of it there. One has about 10 wires, mostly real thick heavy ones, including a couple of big red ones a pink one, orange, brown, and a few others; that's the ignition switch. The other has about 4 smaller wires that are green, tan, and blue. That's the dimmer switch. Loosen its screws, slide it up or down along the column against its rod until the rod actuates it properly, tighten the screws back down.
