Draker Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Buy a multimeter and look for a wiring diagram. Likely bad ground or something. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 The term 'short' is misused. A short is a path for electricity around something it is intended to power, usually to ground. A short would blow a fuse or burn up the wiring. When something electrical doesn't work it's almost always an 'open' or broken wire, bad contact in a switch, loss of power, loss of ground ground or a blown fuse. This is how the current flows through the headlamp system... +battery... fusible link.... light switch (in the on position).... to all 4 headlamps..... light relay (in either hi or low position)..... ground. This is all you need to know.... 1/ All headlamps have power when you pull the lamp switch to ON 2/ The head lamp relay grounds either the hi or the low beams to complete the circuit and turn them on. So... do all the headlamps not work??? 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 clean connection. wiggle wire till its on /off till you find the SPOT where the proplem is. Then fix it. most times at the head lamp or near the fuse box or relay Quote Link to comment
