drift_king Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hello all! I have recently gotten my car back from the shop and a new problem has shown its ugly head. SIGHMy pop-up headlights wont work. they have the h4 bulb conversion done previously by another owner. When I press the button to drop or open them nothing happens. I cranked them down manually,and pressed the button and they opened them selves. LOL they wont close.... the lights worked great when the car went into the shop. I pulled all the switches apart and cleaned the contacts. now what? i suppose pull apart the fusible link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_king Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) well different shop. one does suspension and the other does engines and tuning. I just got the car back from having the megasquirt conversion done. Where is the head light relay located. I checked if my light controller switch was plugged in also.

drift_king Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Okay guys, cleaned the fusable links last night and nothing changed. On one positive note I managed to get both head light to illuminate by wigling a lose wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delayed replay Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Check the passing relay under the dash. It's just to the left of the glove compartment. I had a similar issue with mine when I swapped out the dash. Turned out to be that relay was still attached to the old dash and I had the hardest time figuring out what that d@#$% blue plug went to! LOL. If it's not plugged in or loose, the lights will pop up, and turn on and off, but will not go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_king Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 okay thank you. Also when I hit the blinkers they stay on but do not blink or flash they just light up and stay lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 okay thank you. Also when I hit the blinkers they stay on but do not blink or flash they just light up and stay lit. If one of the bulbs are burnt out they wont flash. Even if the bad bulb is in the gauge cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_king Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 is that flasher located with the headlight relays? I'll be working on the car to right I'll check all the bulbs. currently have the front bumper off so I assume the pigtails on the fog lights won't have anything to do with any light issues.

drift_king Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) okay so instead of wasting valuable server space I'm going to make a mega-struggle thread. Can anybody tell me if this is the fan connector and harness? http://imgur.com/n9OnThJhttp://imgur.com/qP4P4Pphttp://imgur.com/I7GYOJihttp://imgur.com/Rc900f6 Edited May 23, 2015 by drift_king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Have you tried the switch on the right side of the instrument cluster that when pressed, raises the headlight without turning them on?Also trying pushing it and the headlight switch alternately, quickly.Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyWadd Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Cleaning the fusible links is good to do but it has nothing to do with you headlight issue and blinker issue. Yes that picture looks like the fan harness. A burned bulb in the gauge cluster will not cause the the flasher to not work. The flasher is up under where your left foot rests when you drive. You should hear it clicking. If you have no flashing lights then you need to check the flasher. Turn on the emergency flashers and see if the flasher works. It probably does not. I'm going to make a mega-struggle thread. What????? Try fixing one thing at a time. Think big and start small and update your threads when the fix is found. Throwing in random b.s. just frustrate the whole topic. Wanna save server space ? Download the manual. I have been here a dozen times before with the foglight and pop up relays and the flasher issue. That where you need start with the pop up and no flashing issue. Edited May 24, 2015 by JohnnyWadd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
