headlight function issue,
« on: November 19, 2012, 22:11:36 »
Hi All,
When the headlight gets switched on to full light the passenger side light,blinker,fog-light all come on at the same time but very dim, I can only think of the light switch being the culprit  or is it wiring? Has anyone had this kind of problem?

Thanks,

Jack Jones

Poor or no ground at that headlamp and is searching for a ground through the filaments of the bulbs in that assembly.

Right on the money Jack, the ground wire was disconnected and staring right at me, sure saved me a lot of frustrations.

Many Thanks,
