  1. So if lights go off with ignition switch, I might have a bad ign. switch. The wiring all looks good, nothing obvious. The fusible links checked out. I'll look at connectors to ign sw in the morning. Thanks guys
  2. I pulled the instrument cluster no relays in sight. There is a fusible link up by the battery with 2 wires. Voltmeter says12 volts on both sides of link. Anybody know if this is for headlights. Bantum I can't get your wiring diagram to download. I checked for 12 volts at head light socket, nothing there.
  3. I'll post results as soon as I can, it will be a few days. I'll post pictures if I can figure it out, I'm computer challenged. Thanks for all the help.
  4. Bantum, thank you. This car only has 88,000 mi so for now I'm trying to keep her stock. I have a 2001 Dodge P/U with a cummins factory thought #16 wires were good enough for headlights, I used # 12 wire and relays (they also have a crappy headlight switch) so I can do if I have to. As a side note in 1966 I was in Vietnam and met a bunch of Australian Marines. They were the nicest bad asses (they did their job) I have ever had the pleasure of drinking a beer with. You can be very proud of your Marines.
  5. You guys give me a break, I didn't just fall off a turnip wagon. My first car was a 1950 Desoto. I was a truck mechanic in the Marine Corps. I've been working on cars for 50 plus years. I have a shop in my backyard with a car hoist etc. etc.. If I tell you the relays aren't in sight they are not in sight. The parts guy said his book says they are behind the instrument cluster and so they must be there. I was hoping the parts guy was wrong and maybe someone here had 1st hand knowledge. I'll pull the instrument cluster and let you know.
  6. That looks just like the new one I have but I can't find the original one. I'm thinking the parts guy is right and I'm going to have to pull the instrument cluster. I'm going to the library and see if they have a manual. Thanks again.
  7. I bought the car from the grandson of original owner. The car hasn't been messed with. They have been neighbors for 30 years. I have a new relay to compare and I just can't find the original relay. The parts people have been in business for many years, its an old time parts store. Not a box store where they have no idea how to open the hood. All fuses are good. Thank you for your help.
  8. If its not the relay, any ideas? I have the knee panel off there aren't any relays to the left or right of steering col..
  9. I just bought a 81 GL 2 door 2 wheel dr. The headlights and running lights don't work. I bought a new headlight relay, I can't find the old one. I'm looking under dash by steering wheel. Parts guy said its behind instrument cluster, that I had to pull the dash???
