hazarad lights, blinkers, highbeams and half my dash

[MancheKid86]

they are all out,

what could cause this?

could it be the cleaning of the wiring harness that goes onto the front grill did something?

[STERLING STINGER]

check your grounds, or

r your beadlight switch

 

howd u clean it?

[MancheKid86]

sand paper

[MancheKid86]

grounds as in sockets?

checked driverside ground, ran a new ground directly to the frame from the battery,

checked the fuses they are all in tact,

should i check all the other light sockets?

[STERLING STINGER]

i just fixed mine...it was my ignition switch, and a pain in the ars.....id check your headlight switch first though

[STERLING STINGER]

there's a reason that there all not working which makes me think its one of the two switches, not anything individual like a socket.....just my 2 cents

[MancheKid86]

my ignition has a baaaad tumbler, takes a bit to turn the key over some times,

and my highbeam switch works, even the highbeam light on the dash pops on, just no highbeams (lows work, and dimmer on dash works),

i upgraded my front grill from an 86 to a 92, could it have diffrent wiring for the highbeams?

or highly unlikely?

idk but it sounds like your switch needs adjustment..tumblers are like $10 at parts store too. id start with the adjusting of the switch, then see.

When you swapped out to the '92 header, did you use that header harness???

 

The '86 has some odd wiring, even different from the '87-'90 Renix era.

 

Then you jumped to the '92 (HO era) and that wiring is completely different from the Renix era.

 

If you want to leave the '92 harness in place, your going to have to trace down each wire/function, and splice it into the '86 harness, You'll need both wire diagrams to do this.

i used the original wiring harness

 

edit: i noticed that the brakes are on all the time

once i pull the highbeam/dimmer they turned on and stayed on,

 

i am going to replace my highbeam switch, my fuses and my hazard/turnsignal blinkers on my fuse box

[STERLING STINGER]

try your headlight switch

[MancheKid86]

okay ill get that too :D

 

(edit:lmao wait thats what i meant for highbeam XD thought it didnt look right :shake: )

[MancheKid86]

got it fixed :D

some how i was missing my highbeam wire, so i spliced one into the system,

put a new heavy duty blinker fuse in for a waste disposal truck XD

found a melted part of the fuse box with a blown fuse, but we were able to jam a fuse in

 

all in under 2 hours :D
