Headlights aren't working why?
Well long time since I've been on but it's been that long of a time that I've haven't had problems with my car, anyways my headlights aren't working why? I already replaced my head light switch, new fusible links, cleaned up my head light connections also my ground for my lights, what exactly is going on?

Re: Headlights aren't working why?
are you getting power to the switch and out of the switch? dimmer switch on the top of the column working properly?

I'm getting ready to test my wires, but I assume it works because I can dim my gauges and also my tails come on too just no head lights..

Re: Headlights aren't working why?
then i'd be looking at the dimmer switch, but also keep in mind that the power feed for the headlights comes off a different terminal on the switch than the dash or tail lights..

I do not know, I did however see a ground that's under the dash closer to the radio side, you could prob trace that back
