while on the way home from the woods late yesterday, i turned on my lights on my 96 d1 & found that only the headlights would work!! the instrument lights, tail, side, &front parking lights all refused to come on. the brake lights & turn signals all work fine. i of course checked the fuses--both boxes & couldn't find a blown fuse--for that matter i didn't find a circuit labeled instruments & tail lights ??? any help is much appreciated!!! |

this was dicussed before and i had the exact same problem. i solved my problem by replacing the headlight/turn signal switch. it seems that it wore out and would on occasion caused the same failure you have experenced. i never had a fuse problem. when i removed the switch their was some electrical (arc) scoring on the bottom of the switch. as i said i replaced it and have not had a problem since. if you decide that is your problem i suggest you contact nathan at [email protected], he had the best price. good luck

is there a way to test the switch that someone who is mechanically good but electrically challenged can do?? maybe some way to jump past the switch to see if that is the problem??? again, any help is greatly appreciated!!! |

sorry i didn't call--just got the message. but i took your advice & checked the switch--turned out to be in the connector--it was not making good contact, so i cleaned it & re-connected it & all's well again!! thanks for the help!!!
