For those of you that don't know my 86 hatch rear-ended someone and sat for 8 years before I got my hands on it. I've been working on it since late august and started driving it a few weeks ago.
Everything works except for the headlights and front blinkers. I do not have a decent manual for the car yet so it's been a frustrating thing to diagnose. I've checked the underhood and under-dash fuses and none of fuses are bad. I've found 3 relays... the black one on the back of the under-dash fuse box, the silver one in the underhood fuse box and the identical silver one behind the LF headlight. I do not know if these are bad or not.
I should note that I had to remove the original headlights altogether because of the heavy crash damage. The damage, and subsequent weathering sitting in a dirt lot, caused some wiring damage as well. I found 2 big nodes of grounds behind each headlight attached to each inner fender. I had to clean up the passenger side but the drivers side is fine. I attached new ground straps to the transmission and the valve cover and repaired some other miscellaneous grounds.
Despite all this I have NO POWER to the headlights or blinkers. Is there a circuit-breaker somewhere I'm missing??? If I don't get any suggestions I guess I'm just gonna have to wire in a new circuit for the lights.
Any suggestions appreciated
