Headlights | The De Tomaso Forums

I had my headlights on and all of the sudden they stopped working along with the interior dash lights. I thought a fuse blew but they are all fine and the "lights" switch has power to it.Any Ideas?Thanks

Same thing happened to me. Not the headlights but the dash lights went out. Turned out to be the rotary dimmer switch to the left of the steering column. Stopped letting any current through at all. Pull the two wires off the dimmer and connect a jumper wire.If the console lights come back on problem solved. Not so sure about the headlights but you might get lucky. I just left the jumper in and did away with the dimmer. Good Luck

Sounds like a bad headlight switch to me.

You mean the "lights" switch in the center console or the headlight relay by the driver left footwell?
