Help!! I lost my headlights and turn signals
Hello Pelicans,
Today I was messing with the wiring under the dash, trying to clean up wires that were just hanging or snipped off. Somehow I lost my turn signals and headlights (though I have high beams). I have running lights front and rear. I checked the fuse panel in the luggage compartment; all the fuses look ok. Could I have knocked a relay loose? What should I be looking for? What could possibly be wrong? |

There are a bunch of wires that run from the turn signal/high beam switch to the back of the headlight switch. Check to see if you accidentally pulled any of them off the back of the headlight switch.

I still don't have fog lights operating.. the plug is harder to get at to check if it is in all the way. But that is a luxury compared to headlights and turn signals.

Jeffrey, Just in case you don't know, Your headlights have to be on and in the low beam position for the fog lights to work.
