    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I agree. I feel bad, this issue even came up, because of my careless mistake. I definitely need to pay closer attention. Again, I thank those who tried to help.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Well, I finally solved my headlight & wiring issue. And it seems that I actually created the problem myself, much as I hate to admit it. Some, who might have created have accidentally created their own problem, might not come back on here and fess up. But, much as I hate to admit it, I am here...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Okay, we didn't get flooded out, though some of the highways around here, got closed, which nearly cut us off from being able to go anywhere. But, anyway, I still have the headlight issue. I have done various things, in an attempt to figure out what happened. BUT, I am going to start all over...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Right now, I don't remember the voltages, as I didn't think to write them down. I am in Central Arkansas & we have had way too much rain, which hinders me working on the car and flooding, a little bit away from us, is enough to cause road closings. Not to mention, our property borders a lake...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Okay, had a lot of other things going on, on top of me trying to understand what happened to the Swinger, with the headlights & such. I don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but several times, last year, I had some head light issues on the '08 Town & Country, that were driving me up the...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    If you are talking headlight switch, not, that's not it. And I am not saying that you can't get bad parts, whether new or rebuilt, because it can happen. So, I do appreciate your response here.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I have decided to eliminate some of the possible causes of electrical problems in the Swinger. Somewhere, along the way, someone installed a fancy Pioneer stereo accent lighting changes colors ever so often & the wiring connections weren't that good. They also wired the power, in by...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Update: I have checked about all of the wiring, under the hood. I have checked the alternator output & monitored the battery voltage, when I turned the lights on. Remembering an issue I came across, when I worked years ago, at a VW dealership. I was checking the car over, as part of a...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I have to say, I didn't even think of doing this simple step, Thanks for bringing it up & the battery is a sealed battery, w/ no signs of bubbling over. Thanks though. I agree, it is very hard to keep your thought process straight, with other things going on & it doesn't hep that even though I...

    I'll be getting back on, as soon as I can, tomorrow, most of the day is filled with my Daughter's doctor appointment and getting my Wife to work & picking her up. But, as soon as I can, I'll be back on this, because this is my daily driver. And again, Thank you, to ALL who are trying to help.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Sorry, I guess I was so thrown, by the sudden problems (after having dealt with some problems we had, with a 2008 Town & Country, I got flustered and didn't make very good posts, to include not specifying the vehicle details. my car, is a 1971 Dart Swinger. another bit of info, is that this car...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I wasn't sure about the relay, the wiring diagram shows one and that is what I was going by. Thanks for clearing that up. Had to back off, for awhile, I wasn't getting anywhere & tomorrow, Wife has to go to work & my oldest Daughter, has a medical procedure & here we are, stuck & fortunately my...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Also, where is the headlight relay & what does it look like? {Reminders, if it will help: With the old headlight switch, no headlights With the new switch, got high beam Try low beam, & it's like a dead short &...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    There s a white wire on the left headlight connector, that is hot & the switch itself is very warm, to the point of being somewhat hot.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Thank you, for the input on the spare terminal. I figured it had to be a ground, with it on the cover plate, which made me wonder if I needed to make a lead and attach it. I agree, with Rock Auto and use them quite a bit, for a lot of things. Just to be clear, as to what started all of...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    Thank you, for the input. I have been taking care of my own vehicles, for a long time and I have never had issues, like this or similar issues like I had with our '08 Town & Country, with their complicated electrical system. Maybe I am just getting too old, to cope, like I have for so long. (I'm...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I appreciate that. Here's what happened today. I had ordered a headlight switch through O'Reilly's (same Standard P/N and it was supposed to be in today. It wasn't. I had been told that there were 2 of the headlight switches at a Main O'Reilly's in North Little Rock (I'm in Arkansas, in case...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I am about to decide that it is most likely, the headlight switch. Of course, I don't have one of those, around here.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    they were working, then they weren't, then only high beam, now nothing. Got dash lights. I'll check the rest, to be sure. I think it is only the headlights, that are effected.

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    I have a wiring diagram, but it's hard to tell much, as it could stand to be enlarged some, so I can better tell what is what, on this one. But, it is the best I have, would you, by chance, have a more simplified diagram ? Also, I need to know where the headlight relay is, on this one? Gotta...

    Had headlights, then high beam only, now nothing

    So, I knew I had seen a dimmer switch around here, in the stuff, my Dad had. So, I found it, checked it with my ohm meter, seemed good. Put it in and thought my problem was solved, but it wasn't. So, I am still trying to figure out what happened? Help!

    Model kit list

    I built quite a few models, back in the day. Way back in the day (early 1960's) and even though a lot of my old stuff disappeared, I still seem to have some. Then, in the 70's, I decided to get them out & try to get some progress made, on them. Only thing is, I don't think I had ever seen an A...

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but it IS electrical, so

    LOL, I hadn't Even thought of that possibility of using the radio space, for gauges. As far as a retro radio, that WOULD be cool enough, but usually, those are kinda costly & I have a new (still in the box) Pioneer radio, with the USB, MP3 capabilities and such. I was going to put THAT ONE, in...

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but it IS electrical, so

    I really hadn't thought about that, because I don't know anything about it & not up on transferring from CD to the thumb drive. My experience with playing or even recording music, was to listen to records 4 track, 8 trac, cassette & then CDs. Yeah, I've been around, for quite a few years. I'll...

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but it IS electrical, so

    yeah, you are right, about size, the type of radio I was thinking about, IS pretty big, at that. It was just a thought. I've got an '07 Charger R/T & liked the fact that I could load up 6 CDs & pick my own music, since hardly anyone plays my music anymore. Thanks for your input though. :thumbsup:

    Yeah, you are probably right, about it being way too complicated. I was just hoping.

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but it IS electrical, so

    Guys, definitely appreciate the input, on this. At this point, I am not sure how I will proceed, when I actually sit down & take all of this in. I don't have a stock radio, but have some kind of Pioneer radio now, that might be alright, but whoever put this in, did a shoddy job of it. And I have...
