 Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:16 pm Post subject: High low beam relay |
 |
|
| Hello all I have a 66 Square I am restoring right now and I am currently redoing all the electrical under the dash because the PO had there own idea as to how things should have been wired. Any how I was wondering if anybody knows what relay handles the high low beam. That is the last part I need to get working. Could it be the switch itself that is built into the turn signal?? Thanks for any help. |

| Is this a common problem for the switch not to work on these? Is there another fix for this. |

The wires inside the T/S arm do break ocasionally. Right where they flex when the T/S are used.

similar prob... my blue light is on in the dash, indicating "high beams"
so i guess my low beams are not working, did the filament burn out in the bulbs,?then the previous owner replaced the yellow fuses? also: when i turn on my hazards, the relay buzzes, and no lights are flashing outside the car...still pluginn |

My high/lows were not working on mine. Turned out to be the turn signal switch itself. The little contact points plastic arms had broken.

My amber front fogs? they are old Unity lamps that I inherited from my grandfather who ran them on his 53 Buick way back. They were 6v clear lamps. I found some later amber 12v's and installed them.
