64 Cheyenne Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Do you have an auto or manual trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64 Cheyenne Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I asked tranny, because of MC issues that some manuals have. If you was able to recreate part of the issue ie: flashed when you were poking around the fuse box area, I'd check the fuse slot itself or maybe the lightswitch.

STERLING STINGER Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 ya thats where i was gonna start i just put in a new headlight switch though...pita :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 It would seem that it has to be related to the switch. The instrument lights and the taillights are fused, but the headlights don't run through the fuse panel, they are fused by the built-in circuit breaker in the headlight switch. So if you lost all of them at once, a bad fuse or even a bad fuse panel seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakjeep93 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 did you if you had power at your park llights? if not then you may have a broken wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddzz1 Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 If you got them to work while messing around with the wires, it sounds like there is a loose/bad connection somewhere in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Did you check for voltage at the front sockets? then work back to the switch from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 You said that you replaced the headlight switch recently...did you check the single ground wire that goes from the headlight switch harness to the dashboard? It fastens to provide the ground for the switch and all the lights up front (as well as the grounds in the inside front right (drivers side) fender. Secondly, if you pull the headlight switch with the vehicle off do you get the "buzzing" from the fuse panel? (if you replaced your seatbelt sensor with a more modern one it will buzz when the lights are on without the motor. Third, did you happen to install a headlight sentinal timer lately, and if so, temporarily remove it from the circuit and see if that helps. Lastly, (for the interior lights only) check your interior light door pins - they may be crushed and shorting out. Good Luck! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 ya that grounds are all good the headlights are fine, working like they always did this didnt happen with the motor switch cuz after i ran it all day it worked perfectly, then they went out like i said before in previous thread, when i noticed they were off, i started poking around in the fuse panel and they kicked on for a sec, and the buzzer also, which is wierd cuz it never comes on...then, nothing i got it home checked all the fuses and even tried to wiggle the wires a little to see if would kick on again...nothing power to the fusebox, and just to be sure i checked all the fuses and they all got power its just the dash lights and the parking lights :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
