'78 911 SC Headlight Problem
I recently tried to get my headlights going on my resto and at first I just had the driver side working. Then the headlight stopped working. Now I just have the bottom two orange lights working on the drivers side and nothing else.
I just went through the headlight switch and everything seemed ok. I have power at #56 when the switch is on and I have power to both the left and right sides (58l/r). I moved on to the turn signal/high beam lever and seemed to be fine there as well. I even went so far as to swap in the switch from my other car. No difference. I have voltage to 5 and 6 spots on the fuse box (running lights), I do not have anything happening at 9/10 (headlights?). My ignition switch has the grey wire unhooked from the post. Everything I read leads me to believe that this is not my issue. I have held it on and had a friend up front check to see if it changed anything. My grounds by the battery are seemingly ok. Any ideas on grounds I'd be missing? The lights worked when it came apart My tail lights are completely out of the car still, but that shouldn't matter right? At each headlight I have voltage to the top wire, but no where else. The one worked the other day! Anybody have a magic wand to wave for me?

It's a trap...

No but I took mine to my wrench for a headlight problem and they cleaned all the fuses and fuse holders..DOH...they worked. Just a suggestion.

I just ordered new fuses and all new bulbs, but I doubt that is going to solve my problem. It all worked when the car came apart, but now only the drivers side parking lights work. No headlights or any lights on passenger side. I had the drivers side headlight working in the beginning, but now nothing. I have tried 2 headlight switches and 2 highbeam stalks. I wired the rear of the car up and still nothing. It's all looking pretty good. I can't find anything wrong! Anyone?!

Check for voltage and ground. It sounds like a ground is not connected. Also check the wires going into the fuse panel, sometimes those get loose.
