No headlights(bright or dims) after installing new dim bulbs

Post by NotDadsW41 »

Hi All,

Not sure what's happened here. I put in new headlight bulbs over the weekend. I didn't check them to see if they worked or not at the time. What the heck they're new right?

Now I have no headlights whatsoever. No dims and no brights. When I pull the lever to switch to brights I get nothing. No headlights, no blue Bright indicator on the dash.

I'm pretty confident it's not the new bulbs themselves since the brights don't work either.

No blown fuses... What else should I look at? The switch on the column under the dash?

Help!

Well after an hour with a volt meter I was finally able to determine the switch in the dash had gone south. New one was $25 or so. All is well.
