I was out in the eve for the first time in the 97 dicso, and I noticed that the road was looking dark, I was without tools and electric meter, But the headlights and left side running lights were out, The right rear running light is all I had, Dash lights okay, all other lights out, Brake lights and turnsignals were fine as well, No headlights and no highbeams, and the rear fogs didnt want to work,'
I have to go to work now, And I am hoping that someone will chime in and tell me to do this, and all will be fine!
And where is the darn headlight relay???
In the dark Peter.:ack:

I find that the harness that connects to the bulb on my D1 is loose on both headlights. Sometimes if I just push them back in, the lights come on. Open up the hood, and you should be able to poke your hand through the holes right behind the headlights. Try to fiddle with the wires, and see if that does anything for ya

Did the Jiggle thing, I was 60 miles from home, In the dark with no headlights or running lites, And No tools, I did however has a S&W screw driver, I carefully TORE out the witing for a set of roof rack lights, And ran them to 1 headlight, Then tore some other wire to make a jumper between the two, I did make the 60 miles home with headlights, Part of the drive was 45 miles of unlit highway, And dark!!
Now I have no roof rack lights and need to run new wires,,, And I will check all fuses, I looked at 10pm last eve at all lighting circuts and all looked good, even bypassed the 30A lighting breaker under hood, Still no.
Just odd that all worked 100% a couple of weeks ago, And now, Just right rear running light and that's all on the outside, All dash lights/ect good.
Please more suggestions!
