No Headlights

blastr9 · 12-14-07, 10:33 PM

Hello out there in mudlland. I am in Barstow California headed for Colorado in a HJ47. I just picked up the vehicle up from customs today. As it got dark I turned on the head lights. They worked for a bit and then went out, so I am spending the night here. I checked for the obvious, fuses, loose wires without luck. Any ideas?

I am going to get going early to make it to Vegas to get it checked out.

Any recommended electrical shops?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Joe and IN2, Will check those tomorrow.

In2, does your 2H have a crankcase pressure relief vent?

Does it blow oil?

What is your fuel "economy"?
