jwmact Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Newbie question: I am in the process of restoring a 87 Conquest. For some reason, I am unable to get the headlights to open on the car. I have checked/replaced all of the fuses and they are good. The switches inside the car seem to be working. The relays appear to be okay, but I am not 100% positive. Can someone let me know what else I need to check to see what could be causing the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdScrip Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Pull the turn signal lever towards you (passing signal), do the headlights go up? Edited June 29, 2014 by ColdScrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRFTQUEST Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Check your grounds. also check fuse links in the battery tray compartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmact Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Guys, Thanks for the replies. I had to take the car back to the shop to some work on the engine finished up. I will definitely try all the suggestions (hopefully this weekend). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbrad511 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Have you tried the popup switch on the right side of the cluster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmact Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yea, I tried the popup switch on the right side, but nothing happened. I also plan to check the headlight motors. The car sat outside for several years, so I am just hoping it needs some WD-40 and a few "gentle taps" to get them to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
