Hey all,
So I decided to try and plug an interveter into the 12v plug the previous owner installed. He had it hooked to the headlight switch, so in parking light mode (1st position) it would go on.
When it got to nighttime, and I pulled the light switch all the way out all I got was the parking lights, no headlights, breaks worked, dash lights worked, and dimmed, turn signals and hazards worked. I checked the voltage at the headlights and got no voltage.
I got a headlight switch a week or two ago, because after reading the forms decided it's a good just in case. Installed it, and still no headlights. I have only had highbeams (aimed down so as not to blind people) since I got the car,and cannot switch out of it to test to see if it's only affecting high beams.
My initial thoughts were that the inverter drew too much and blew a fuse, but no blown fuses, then replaced switch. I'm a bit stumped beyond having to trace out all the wires to see if something melted, any other suggestions from anyone? I was thinking of just finding a 12v souce and jerry rigging that to the headlights to get me by. until I can take the time to get it inside and out of the cold to find the source and fix.
I've read through the tm's and forms but couldn't find anything that worked, doubt it's the headlights themselves, no voltage to the headlights at all, Its not in blackout mode, no lights would be working, and I have break, and reverse and parking lights, and dash lights. Still in original 24v config.
