Lights out! (1 Viewer)

[raymond2335]

Driving home last night at 10 pm my headlights flickered once and went out. I checked all fuses... twice. The running lights still work as do blinkers but no headlights. My starting point is to check for power Leaving fuse panel and go from there. Ol’ reliable isn’t living up to its name! It’s was a hairy drive home!!!

My head lights do that periodically. You might check and clean the contacts between the fuse and the fuse holder. I usually just slide the fuse back and forth a little and they come back on.

Well I’ve got power to the switch. My guess is my switch took a crap. I may try to take this thing apart, has Anybody had any luck cleaning the switch guts?

Dimmer switch is a good thought, but it’s a brand new and wiring Looks intact. Totally off topic here, I’ve got some things to sell, where on this site do I list tires, soft top, things of that nature?

Over in the classifieds.

Up at the top left, click on the tab.up there and follow it to the classified section.

I'm assuming that you are on a mobile device.

What year is your truck?

Surprised no one has mentioned grounds.
Corroded connections could be causing resistance.

You may want to reach out to @Coolerman for electrical issues. He builds Cruiser harnesses from scratch and his reputation/work seems top notch.

It would be more helpful to know the Year of the suspect trouble switch , and Vehical in question ?

It most resembles picture number three. This is out of a 1973 fj 40. It has the lightbulb on the back that shines through the knob on the front. The nob says “lights”.

Correct ,

a 1973 has a NON-Dimmer / Dimming Illuminated headlight switch
