Dr Farco Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Well, the auto starter she wanted works,as does the locks and the horn beeps but now I have no lights anywhere. All I can do is flash the high beams. The last thing I had to do was get the lights to flash. So as I was probing the headlight relay sockets for voltage, I saw a small arc to one of the terminals. The headlight switch seems like it's dead. It won't trigger any relays. I can hear the relays when I flash the highs however. Any Ideas?? The fuses for the lights next to the relays are good as are all the fuses in the kick panel fuse box. Are there any more fuses or breakers I can check? I saw a diode in the schematic but don't have a clue where it is or what it looks like. Thanx DF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea#3 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Check the under hood fuse box by the battery SEA#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOppegaard Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Check the fuse otherwise...you may have cooked something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Farco Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Thanx, all, I'll check them all out. I found reference to an illumination control module. What does this thing do? DF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcoaster Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Thanx, all, I'll check them all out. I found reference to an illumination control module. What does this thing do? DF Basically it controls the brightness of your gauges, radio, and controls. It basically converts the low amperage pentiometer setting in your turn signal stalk to handle the high amperage of the lights. By the way, the high beam flash is separate from the headlight switch. since it appears that you installed a remote start/alarm/keyless entry system, you may have miswired something somewhere.

Dr Farco Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Thanx for the info coaster, I guess that rules out the module. I must have damaged the main light switch somehow when I was probing the relay sockets.maybe a short. I'm not getting a ground signal from the switch to pull in the relays. The lights work if I jump a ground to the connecter under the dash but no dash lights come on. Still can't figure out how a short could hurt the switch though. Except for this problem, this was the easiest remote starter install Ive done yet though. All of the necessary ignition, horn and lock wires are right there and easy to splice into. The Subaru light system is another story. DF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
