 Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;)so long story short recently my headlights went out
yet its not the bulbs. its the handle thingy lol so first click turns on parking lights second turns on headlights push forward and the brights stay on. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT parks turn on and all but headlights DONT press the toggle forward for always brights and nothing. BUT, pull back to flash and they work!! so i got a piece of paper jammed in there to keep them on and they stay on.. wtf??? relay replaced and still no progress. _________________ ____________________ 1994 Mazda Mx-3 1.6 DOHC {cams, stage 2 LUK clutch, B&M Short throw shifter, headers back straight pipe, GOLF CART MIRROR, Duralast Gold Rotors and Pads, ALL metal Radiator, BOSCH 120 amp Alternator} more TBA

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) Check all your fuses.. If all check out... Replace the head light switch on the column....
To confirm it you could check for a signal to the head light relay from the Light switch with a volt meter... |

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) Sounds like you need a new Head Lite switch. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php
If you go to the pic n pull bring a puller for the steering wheel right.

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) You can also rent a steering wheel puller from most automotive stores. I recommend this, since it's free after you return the puller.

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) Reallllllly hoping it wasn't the switch. Yet its 325$ after my commercial @ auto zone thus sucks, ill check the leads for voltage first then probably end up wiring the headlights to a toggle switch being 322.99$ cheaper.. ill post when ive checked everything. Thank you.

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) My apologies lol I was just trying to narrow it down to the switch before actually needing a switch,
I will post in the wtb but while this thread is open 5speed 94 1.6l base model, no cruise, has airbags _________________ ____________________ 1994 Mazda Mx-3 1.6 DOHC {cams, stage 2 LUK clutch, B&M Short throw shifter, headers back straight pipe, GOLF CART MIRROR, Duralast Gold Rotors and Pads, ALL metal Radiator, BOSCH 120 amp Alternator} more TBA

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) For the record cruise control(or lack thereof) makes zero difference in this instance. I swapped a non cruise control unit in to replace a damaged cruise control one, and it was incredibly simple to swap the cruise wiring onto the new switch.

Re: Wierd headlight issue! yes ive used the search ;) I had the exact same problem with mine, only my normal headlights worked, but my high beam (push back to leave on) didn't work, but it would flash just fine. I replaced the switch from behind the steering wheel = problem solved. I'm 99% certain you'll need the same part (like Dan & MrMaz have said)
 Also, $20 is an awesome price! I paid $140 for mine, admittedly I had to get it shipped from Japan because it wasn't the same as the one from a car sold here  _________________  '92 JDM Eunos Presso - Zeke |
