Ok I Go Over Town Tonight ,when I Get Back In The Car I Turn On My Headlights.the Headlights Come On And The Wipers Too,they Won't Turn Off And The Wiper Switch Isn't Even On.oh And The Red Light For The Headlights Is On Too.the One In The Dash Pic Of Car.anyone Have Any Idea Why This Happened.when I Got Home I Turned The Lights Off And Back On And Now They Work Fine.oh Yeah The Left Signal Flashed Faster Than The Right One When This Happened.
you have a short, possibly in the combo switch.
yeah i thought it might be the combo switch but it's never done this before and i haven't done anything to the car in a while.
its the gremlins. 20 years of hot and cold can eventually turn your electrical system against you. most of us have them in one way or another. they come and go as they please. unless they become a problem or something stops working completely, i just deal with them.
well my headlight problem came back again.so today i tried the combo switch out of the exi but that didn;t work,it didn't work right in the exi either.i wasn't sure what the problem was in the exi but i guess it was the switch.anyway i put the switch back in and the light in the car layout was on and the headlights were dimmly lit w/o the light turned on.don't know if it's the switch or something else.any help would be appreciated.there are not alot of these cars in the j/y around here so it's hard to find another switch,if that's what it is.
anyone?
thanks already read that,gonna get some dielectric grease tomorrow and do the headlight and wiper switches.
No problem.
Good write up Russian. I need to get after my wiper switch and this will definitely help. Thanks!
still having problems,i took the switch from the exi and cleaned it.put it back in car andtried the lights,lights work but when i tried high beams it startedto beep,dash lights came on and the tach jumped.whats wrong with this thing.are the switches wired differently.help!
bump
well i took the switch apart and checked it again and all contacts are clean.put it back in and it's fine with parking lights on,only screws up when turn on headlights.the dash lights flash,the tach jumps and sounds like one of the headlight motors is trying to open or close.DOES ANYONE KNOW WHATS FUCKED UP.
Check your ground wires on the drivers side next to the evaporator on the radiator support. Mine did the same thing and they were loose. Yours maybe corroded. They may be on the fenderwell also towards the front in the space where the air conditioner dryer is located. Let me know if this helps.
do you mean the grounds to the lights or the engine.
OK got another combination switch today and put it in,IT"S STILL FUCKED UP does anyone have any help with problem.I just don't understand whst's causing this.
bump!
what's a guy gotta do to get help on here!
I don't think anyone knows.
could it be the fuse panel under the dash.
OK changed high beam relay,4-way flasher,int wiper relay in fuse panel.changed headlights,checked headlight wires with test light,all seem ok.but wipers still come on when i turn on high beams or signal left,works fine when i signal right.
well today i decided to start outside looking for bad connections.the signal light connector on the drivers side was corroded so i cut it off and spliced one off the parts car.iI soldered it and taped it up,this on had the rubber boot over the connector which the other one didn't.but still have the problem,and when i turn on the lights with key on the retractor relay was clicking and the headlight motor was trying to open and close continually til i shut the key off.this shit really has me stumped.wireing is not my favorite thing.
electrical problems are something your going to have to figure out yourself, or bring it to a shop. they are really hard to explain through a keyboard without seeing what exactly is happening.
Some mice eat the wiring behind your fuse box? Any wires pinched in the steering column?
no i had the fuse box out tried another one didn't do anything.changed ign switch didn't do anything.but when i turned lights on and off a few timesi heard the headlight motor relay clicking and it sounded like the drivers side motor was trying to open and close repeatedly.could it be the motor for that.
