Electrical Problem

ian86crxhf's Photo ian86crxhf 21 Jun 2006

today i went out and got my car started it up and turned on the lights and they didn't turn on at all, instead i got the parking lights and the dash lights and the high beam light on the dash... totally confused as to why i had no headlights i tried turning on and off the highs, still nothing happened. so i got out of my car and after a few choice words with my car hit the headlight with the palm of my hand and the lights turned on automatically. its been raining alot here lately, any ideas as to how that would happen. its now happened twice, and beating it prolly won't work for much longer dry.gif

Check the connections, the boots, and then... get two new lights, they're cheap so have them handy, even if only to test!

alright thanks for the advice.. im gonna check the grounds and replace the batteries, now that i've thought about it the bulbs were having prob. when i turned them on the drivers side was dim for like 5 min. then full brightness, i figured maybe i touched the bulb or something dumb like that. then after my current prob started the pass. side is dim huh.gif

thanks for the help
