alright guys.. another problem with a car at work. Guy brought in a SPFI 90 loyale, S/R 5 speed. Here what he told me. Heater didnt work, front wipers didnt work, Tail lights dont work, but the brake lights do. The passenger side headlight works like it should, while the driver side is barely lit up.

 

I got the heater and wipers working. I replaced a few bulbs in the tail lights, got them working. Then I started on the head light problem. This is where it got frustrating. After 20 or 30 min of checking wires up front, the tail lights stopped working almost completely. They are still on, but just enought to make the filament turn orange. When I disconnect the drivers side (side with problem) headlight, it makes all the marker lights and tail lights go out completely. With it plugged in, they come back on. So I changed the bulb out and the connector that plugs into the bulb. Still nothing works.

 

Started messing with the fuses. When I took the fuse of for the LH head light, it stayed on. So I'm thinking it now could be the switch in the steering column. I tried two other steering column switches, and got the same results.

 

Anyone have ANY ideas on what could be causing this electrical problem?

 

Oh yea, cleaned up all the battery connections and grounds..

sounds like a short somewhere to me.

morning bump....
