Headlights stopped working???

HiFlow5 0 · 10-22-2001, 07:40 PM

when i used my turn signal and my headlights went off for a split second then back on. and did this everytime i used the turn signal. then i went to use my high beams and they did't work. after that i had no headlights what so ever, but the marker lights and blinkers still worked. the high beams would also work if i pulled the lever back, but would never go on if i pushed the lever forward in the brite postion. is it the blinker/wiper lever or could it be something else???

sounds to me like your headlight switch itself fried

they're not too expensive and are easy to put in

hope this helps

Yes, you need to replace your multi-function switch ( Turn signal switch ).
