SUCCESS!!!!!!

It took me ALL day, troubleshooting the weird voltages and ohm readings I was getting from the passenger headlight.

The car had a modified lighting system, using old Camaro low beams or back-up lights, small and rectangle, single element-so no high beams.

That's fine and dandy, except the passenger headlight I just could not get to work. I was getting weird voltages and ohm readings, nothing I tried was working.

The headlight plugs were TWO pin plugs, no third "high beam light wire (that I gladly would have swapped over to to get both lights working, no 3 pin plugs, single element lights as well, so 2 wires, that's it.

The car has had a custom relay system designed and installed by Roger that relieves the ignition of all the high-draw duties, much better than the stock wiring setup.

Today though, I gave up, and I simply jumped my two headlight wires over to the non-working headlight, made it all tidy so you can't even tell anything was changed (I still have to black tape the open bad headlight wires so they aren't open to the elements, BUT,,,,,


I HAVE 2 HEADLIGHTS glowing brightly on my car!

Checklist;

Headlights-check

Taillights-check

Brakelights-check

Blinkers-check

Interior gauge illumination lamps all seem to light up, although the original gauges have konked out intermittently-still monitoring that situation. They've stopped working for a few minutes a couple times.

Second bank of new gauges all work perfectly, no issues there.

Tachometer has a mind of it's own. It's moody. sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I probably won't spend too much energy working on the tach.

Next week Snow White gets up on the lift, all her fluids changed, things are coming along nicely.
