ivans imports Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 there should be two headlight realys right above your left knee under the plastic cover wiring should be black with red stripe or black yellow black and white. But as far as i know realys are left and right not high low so u whould only lose one side not all four bad contacts in high low switch mabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiedubie Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Your high/low beam head light switch is probably buried in your steering column. To change it, you may need to pull the steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 figured it out, there is a big yellow plug under the dash on the left of the steering column, apparently it houses the wires to the headlights and blinkers.. one connector is burned.. have to repair it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Had the same issue on the '85 BRAT. Had me scratching my head for a bit before I found the burnt connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Glad to hear you found the problem. The headlights do share a commom relay like Ivans Imports thought. The power for the dash lights is also passed though one of the relays. The grounding for the selected lights is made through the light switch.
