20 year parked NO HEAD LIGHTS HELP

[amoparacer]

Okay so rebuilt the carb adj valves runs great opps no head lights high or low.
Any one know how to clean the head light switch. What else could it be ???? also no turn signals running lights all work brake lights work. 76 Feather Duster

clean the connector on the firewall
Get a wireing diagram and a test-light or a volt meter and start tracing.

Head light ONLY power (not tail, park or dash lights) goes TO the light switch via a heavy wire coming from one of the fuse links in the engine bay, a no 12 black wire going through cavity 16 of the bulkhead connector. Check that you have power there first

TS first thing I'd do is find the TS flasher and check for power (key on) at the flasher, and if you have it, replace the flasher

You have a shop manual? Wiring diagram?

I will look for the black wire tomorrow I just got the car no diagram or shop manual.

These diagrams are somewhat useful, by no means complete.

I have a paper 76 manual, might be able to scan some of it

Check the high /low switch on the floor

Check the high /low switch on the floor

I would start checking there with a simple test light. No power there leads me back to the headlight switch. Verified power in and out of dimmer switch leads me to the bulbs and/or the connectors behind them.

Check the high /low switch on the floor

Yep my brother lost his headlights in his truck, drove 40 miles home in the dark and all it was ,was the dimmer switch,$ 6.00

Don't forget the grounds...if they are corroded they will not pass the current.

 

[amoparacer]

okay took five minutes and replaced dimer still no head lights so maybe tomorrow i will get out the multimeter and check the fusable link.

 

[amoparacer]

Okay I bought a headlight switch and flasher unit head lights and turn signal all work yes.

Did you checked the fuse?

 

[amoparacer]

Did you checked the fuse?

No because the headlight switch solved the issue. Also the head lights don't run through the fuse block they have a fusable link.:violent1::violent1::violent1::book::book::book::book::book::book::book::book::book::book::book:
