Yeah I just jumped into my car and my headlights wont come on, how do i check the switch.
Is there a fuse that i can check thats not on the fuse panel? Oh BTW my car is a '80 scorp.

Have you checked to make sure the car has headlights installed? :geek:


But seriously there is a relay type plug thing in the top corner of the engine bay right behind the driver side headlight.. if someone was playing around it could have been bumped

I managed to rip mine out when removing the radiator and and air con condensor.

None of the lights work at all, the tail lights, head lights or dash lights. I pulled my dash apart to re-cover it I might have bumped something but I dont wanna take it all apart I want someone to narrow it down for me.
thanx

The dash, tail and front side lights are all on the one fuse - I'd check that. I assume you've tried a different fuse or shorting across it?

There is no power to that fuse at all, I diconnected the dimmer switch when I took m dash apart and it says in the astralian manual if the dimmer switch has had it it will stop your lights. Is there any way to bypass it or check it?
thanx

FIXED, Took the car to auto electrician, the douchebag who owned the car afore me put a sealed beam headlight where he should have put a changeable globe and the wirings different and meltafied some of my wires over time...
Just unlucky that they should stop working after I was fiddling with stuff...dang only cost me $50 tho...
