check the pigtail connectors on the headlamp housing, make sure they are actually connected. Someone may have disconnected them. It goes bulb holder, to pigtail, to harness.

Ok well the city lights in the headlight housing and also the turn?foglights where not working. The only ones working where the sidemarkers and headlights themselves.

I have turned the around and around the dont work. I haven't checked fuses though. Just havent had a chance yet for that

I will pull it all apart tomorrow maybe and see if it works. It's like one of the easiest things in the world and its not working. Freaking weird i tell ya. Oh well I just need to diagnose more.

well if that's the case then maybe it's not the fuses? maybe previous owner cut a wire?

easy way to diagnose..

buy a $2 fault finder lamp from hardware shop ... put black wire onto an earth

and plug trouble lamp into your city light *****.. see if it comes on. if it does - your car is fine. and it's the bulbs at fault

do the same with all your other stuffed up lights



if the trouble light doesn't come on... then... the plot thickens.

Wow good idea.. I appreciate the input and also the idea. I will try this tomorrow if I have a chance. Worst thing is I have to rewire I guess.
