1g: No headlights

[cruxmotorsports]

So here is the story first post here, I bought a 1992 eagle talon nt as a winter car.

111k on it and no problems with it until the other day.

The car sat at my friends house for a bout 5 hours in about 20 degree weather. Well I go to start the car it starts right up then I go to flip the headlights on and I get nothing. Well I put the car in drive and didnt really go so I poped it down to low and it went then the headlights just came on i didnt touch the switch or anything. So I really didnt think much of it just since it was cold out just a fluke.

Well today I went to turn the headlights on and I had nothing, the running lights work fine turn signals and brake lights work fine also.

But the headlights do not turn on when I sitch them on, nor do the bright lights work when I flip them on. The other thing that I noticed is that when I flip the bright lights on the indicator does not even come up on the cluster.

So I checked everything fuses relays and then I double checked them, well nothing there nothing blown or anything.

So I am thinking it is the wand switch thing I really dont know what else to check on it.

If you guys have any advise on what to check on that would be awsome!

Check the headlight ground wire for corrosion in the light socket (common problem) and where it connects to the body.

Def the switch haha where is the ground thing at on the chassis?

Swapped the switch still have the problem and more Ideas?

 

[luv2rallye]

A faulty alarm system interfering with the lights? Bad headlight relay? Wire not making solid connection? Bad ground connection on wand headlight switch?

Well we swapped the switch so I dont think it is that, what we ended up doing was jumping the relay for the running lights so when you turn the running lights on the headlights come on, and that works for the time being since it is too cold to really do anything out here.

It has me and my dad stumped and he use to be a mechanic haha
