problems with lights

by the way thanks for taking timeout to help

 

Does the lights come on & fade every time or are they not working at all now?

 

no the headlight switch

 

not working at all it just faded the first time i turned them on after work

 

The headlight switch is attached to the knob that operates the headlights, in the dash. Its a bitch to change.

 

I think you are probably not getting voltage through to the headlight switch then. Probably not a switch problem. You will have to find that wire that should be on the starter battery post that I mentioned earlier. That fusable link may have blown.

 

how big of a bitch do i have to take the dash apart

 

is it one of the smaller wires

 

Read my last post, I dont think its a switch problem. I thought they came on & faded every time you turned the lights on. Because they dont, I doubt its the switch.

 

It will be one of the thicker wires

 

ok cool i'll have to check that out thanx agian for taking time to help

 

earlieir you said it was on the soleniod so what type of fuse am i looking for

 

ITs not like your used to seeing. What it will be is a thick wire with a big ring terminal that usually bolts on the solenoid post. It may be bolted to other wires and just insulated. Thats usually what happens when an amp gauge is installed. Directly behind the ring terminal, the wire will be real thick, more than twice the diameter of the wire. That is the fuse part. If you have a volt/ohm meter, its pretty easy to test it.

 

if i don't have one of those could i just use a jumper wire to test it

 

You could cut it off, add another terminal and bolt it back to the battery post just to test.
