Headlight... Relay... Wiring... Question... Posted by PGAero [Email] (#1143) [Profile/Gallery] (more from PGAero) on Thu, 27 May 2010 13:21:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hey all,
My headlights started acting up the other day. I checked the headlight relay, did a re-flow on the solder, then replaced it altogether with a known good unit. No change. I also inspected the other (smaller, orange) relay, but haven't replaced it... I don't know if it's related.
The symptoms:
low beams work just fine, but pulling the stock back to switch on the high beams causes the low beams to dim, and the high beams don't ever come on. I checked one high beam bulb just to rule out the possibility that both high beam bulbs burned out at the same time.
Thoughts anyone?
I'm handy with a my multi-meter, but I haven't had the time to start checking things out... if I get some input from the knowledge base here, maybe I'll save some trouble-shooting time.
Thanks,
~Peter
