    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.
