1970 911t headlight problem

All the fuses are OK but the headlights don't work. Where is the headlight relay and how do I determine if it is OK? The hi-beam flasher works ok.

Hi,

Could be lots of things. If you connect power directly from the battery to the appropriate fuese to the headlamps turn on?

The power for the Flash to Pass function travels a different route through your turn signal flasher stalk than the regular lights. If I had to guess, you have a bad turn signal/flasher switch.

Check this thread and inspect the switch, it could be your problem: turn signal switch quick fix pictures

Al, noticed that the lights and wipers do not work. I would suspect something more generic that a problem with each item, like a fuse box problem or something that would be common. Maybe both relays but what would cause both relays to fail? Did these events happen together or is this a r/r type of problem? More information would help and some of the gurus can respond. Steve

Stock.....there are no headlight relays with Porsche's idiotic way of wiring headlights.
