both headlights low beam not working accord 1989 si 2.0l , high beams do work put a new bulbs in , check fuses under the dash on the drivers side all are good ? what could be the problem? thanks
what relays? how do i find them? thanks
under the hood in the box next to the battery
mine stopped working after replacing the multi function switch, I never went back in to diagnose.. maybe a plug?
i checked the relays still good ! what else ?
Did you put in some extra-powerful headlight bulbs by any chance? The weakest part of the headlight circuit is the headlight switch, which is the first to go because of a high current draw. The usual failure mode of the switch is for the low beams to go. That's what I would bet it is. I assume both lows failed at the same time.
You'll need a new combination switch. I have a couple sitting that I don't need, as long as you have a sedan or coupe.
check the fuses inside the car...i think its a 15 amp fuse for the low beams
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011
175whp and 132tq
Redzone tuned
its 10amp for the low beams. anyway bought a circuit tester (never use one before) but the guy at the shop said should be able to pinpoint out where the problem is.
Last time this happened to me, it turned out to be one of the connectors at the top of the fuse block (under the dash). I can't remember which it was, it was the top row, either left or center. Pins of the connector (fuse block side) were corroded/burnt. Cleaned and tightened the connection and it was fine.
anyway took it apart sanded some of the copper part things on the switch now both highs and lows dont work ? i think i sanded the surface to much so now you can see the metal surface!
