I have a strong feeling this is a relay related issue. My highbeam indicator stays on now no matter what (regardless of stalk setting and whether or not the car is on/off). Now it is quite a task to even get the headlights to work (I have to flip the headlight stalk on/off, high/low before I can get only 1 headlamp to work). I looked at fuses #53 and #54 and they are fine. Can anyone prescribe a cure?

Thanks

 

hmm, that usually happens when your headlight bulbs stop working, its possible your bulbs have run out of life.

 

Check Pin 1 of bothe headlights with ground and see if there is a short...


If there is a short on the LEFT headlight and not the right headlight, there's a bad ground...

Which headlight comes on?

 

Im thinking there is definitely a short. I installed HID's and used the low-beam power and ground wires to connect directly to the hid ballast. The highbeam power wire was simply terminated with a piece of electrical tape. I am thinking water might have got in and caused a short circuit?

The left side headlight comes on only.

 

no offense but you should really specify by drivers or passenger side, left and right people dont really understand somtimes

 

sounds like a short. i had it happen to me when i rewired and the wire came loose on me.

 

a short would blow a fuse. an open is more what your looking for.

 

my car did that that. Once I chenged the burny out head;light the problem was gone

 

By left side i mean only the passenger side light comes on.

 

Yup - driver side and passenger side is easier to explain. Most people use left and right to describe the side of the car from the perspective of the driver - so left is driver side.

 

OK I went through all the wiring/bulbs and nothing seems to be wrong. I even switched the ballasts and everything, checked the fuses and the highbeam light still remains on. The only time it comes off is if I remove the fuse for the drivers side headlight. Does anyone know if this can be due to a faulty switch?

 

someone in the for sale section is selling a light stalk for like $10 shipped, look into that, as well as a relay.

 

Yup I already PM'ed him. I wonder how hard it is to replace a light stalk?

 

so you have hids? did you rewire them to a larger gauge? if so check the wiring one more time.
