It's probably a bad ground connection. I'm assuming the driver's side low AND high beam comes on with no problems, right? The ground is that little eyelet screwed into the chassis right above the headlight assembly. Kinda cheap way to do it, don't you think? Anyhoo, remove the sheet metal screw, shine up the connection (both the eyelet and the chassis itself) with a little sandpaper, and bolt it back down. Hope this helps.

But doesn't that ground serve both low and high beams? I guess it's worth a shot, but I'd guess that you have a bad wire somewhere. Only way to know for sure if the ground thing doesn't work is to grab an ohm meter and start poking. Good luck.
If nothing else maybe we can figure it out at the park Drew ------------------ Too much to list. Best ET on the car so far with stock 2.73 gears - 13.73@102mph Indiana Stangers Association Buy your parts here ICQ# 42269241 |
