Lights not coming up

OfnaRcR · 02-03-2007, 12:46 AM

When i bought my car the lights didn't come up by themselves. After a while i got tired of turning the knobs and bought a retractor relay bc i figured that it would solve it. After it came and didn't work i was disappointed and put the old one back in. After i put it back in they worked for some reason. After say a month they stopped working again.

I don't think it is a fuze but i havent looked yet. I guess i just want to know what else it could be.

Also, what size is the light in the ignition switch and or some of the dash lights(not the main ones, they are a little bigger, this one is tiny). Where can i get a red one?

double check where you take off the relay or the fuse's connection... sometime you might have a bad connection due to loooosing pin contact... so thats why it stops from not working..

double check on your connection... cause for what you said... seens like a loooosing connection....

but it might be something else too...

The ground circuit for the relay or related wiring may be loose or weak or bad.

when you get them up again just dont let them down leave them all the way up... they still shut off, instead of going down like 4 times take the knob down three they still stay up and off.

The thing is they don't move at all. I want fully functional headlights, not janked lights. I'll check the connections later.
Damdog, are you sure those are the little tiny lights i'm talkin about? There are bigger lights and lights that look just like it but a lot smaller in the back of the guage cluster.

well, the site has changed since i bought lights from them, but i kept the package the lights came in and it says theyre #74, which is what those lights are. and they look exactly like the ones i put in my car. so im not 100% sure, but i think your safe. plus theyre not that expensive, so you could buy 1 and check to see if it fits. when you click on buy now, go to the second page and down nine items. thats what your lookin for.

You should be able to get them at any parts store.
