BagelsAndDatsuns Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hi, I've got a dim right head light on my 84 720. I tried putting new headlamps and that did nothing. Also the inner headlights (the brights I guess) don't seem to work at all. I was told something about a capacitor being faulty, any one know anything? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 When you have the lights off and you pull the turn signal stem towards you what lights turn on or do any? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 OK what should happen is the high beams should come on. This is a 'flash to pass' option that allows the quick flashing of your high beams to warn the car ahead of you or on coming traffic. Change both headlamp fuses. They are the last two 10 amp fuses on the far right hand side of the fuse box closest to the engine. I think the far right fuse is blown. (there is no capacitor in the headlamp system) Quote Link to comment
BagelsAndDatsuns Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 One of the fuses is certainly burned out. The other one looks good, I'll replace them both and get back to you with the result. suspect my brights will be working just fine. Thanks Quote Link to comment
BagelsAndDatsuns Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 hmmmm. I changed the busted fuse for the brghts and also changed the fuse for the low beams. Everything works great now, I've never changed a fuse that wasnt broke before. I'll keep in mind that old fuses can cause problems. thanks again, Dave Quote Link to comment
