Headlight Wizards Help Needed
 
My headlights will not come on (both low and high beam) and the turns signal lights on the dash blink at a higher rate then fade completely. Other lights like hazards, reverse, breaks, interior, glove and gauges work just fine.

When the car is running and I pull on the headlight knob to turn on the headlights, the BLUE light indicating highlights on the gauge come on in both the high and low beam light position . . . .but no headlights.

* Checked and replaced healdight fuse.
* Starter switch is new.

Has my turn signal assembly falied and causing this?

Help needed as I am in the DARK.

It could be a relay, check that out.

mine did this and it turned out to be the headlight switch at the stalk /turn signal. Are you running higher than recommend wattage headlight bulbs?

Jeremy-Does this mean I need to replace the switch
 
Jeremy.

Glad to have someone iwht similar experince. I believe headlights are stock, so does this mean I need to replace the trun signal assembly?

Replace the Turn signal switch. Happened to me twice. 1st time flying down an unlit country twisty in the dark. Not a time to go blind.

Install relays even if headlights are stock.

Common known problem.
