Headlight High Beam Problem
Well cars almost street legal, just one more problem. The drivers side headlight high beam does not work. Replaced Headlight and fuse is good anybody run into same trouble? Just hope for quick fix here as we all do with these things.
Thanks JACK.
Thanks JACK.
Jack, same problem with my 79 but it was the passenger side high beam. Traced everything and couldnt find the problem. Started at fuse panel and traced the power wire from the fuse, to behind the fuse panel to where it goes through the fire wall. Had power at that point. Found the same wire in the bundle on passenger side wheel well. That same wire didnt have power. So somewhere between the firewall and that point (which is only 3 feet or so) there is a loss of power.
Instead of trying to tear everything apart I just ran another wire from the drivers side high beam power. Hid the wire so you cant even see it running across from one side to the other. I know its kinda a chicken **** fix but it would be really hard to get into that wiring bundle to locate the break.
Hope you dont have that same problem. If I were you I would check all grounding for that headlamp and use the wiring diagrams to trace the wires and make sure they are on the correct terminals.

You didn't happen to mention your model year there Jack ol' boy, but it could be relay XIV, or some other, depending on the model year.
