Lo/Hi Beams for 2 Headlight (Sealed Lamp) System:

 

Low beam for L/H single headlight for 87 GL 4WD WGN won't work, but low beam for R/H single headlight does. Hi beams for both sides work. Tired a replacement bulb for the L/H side single headlight but no luck.

 

Horn(s):

 

Horn or horns basically faded out and now zip. Have read of several ways to get at the horns, through the headlight, through the bumper or through the turn signal. Does through the turn signal mean the turn signal in the bumper or just ahead of the quarter panel above the bumper. Mine is the latter arrangement.

 

The bits and pieces I've read to date pertaining to the above were not specifically for my make and model so I am not sure where to start.

 

Thanks!

Clairfication.....have a two headlight system. Now understand that the sealed beam system has four headlights. On the learning curve! Thanks.

Both of the problems may be due to faulty connections to the devices. I suggest you check the connections visually and with a voltmeter to see if voltage is getting to those points.

Complet:clap: ed work on both the headlights and the horns.

 

Headlights:

 

Turned out to be a bad bulb. Odd that the L/H low beam would not work even though both filaments looked okay. Put in new bulb on L/H side and the R/H low beam went out. Replaced the R/H side bulb. Now have low/high beams on both sides.

 

Horns:

 

Turned out to be bad horns. Voltage at the connectors and at the horn switch on the steering wheel where ok. Tested horns directly off the battery and both failed.

 

By the way, instead of pulling the bumper or removing the headlights or turn light, I dropped the cowling that is below the bumper and stretches accross the vehicle from qtr panel to qtr panel. Doing so left plenty of room with which to get to the horn and install the new ones. Not much room behind the turn signal. Had the headlights out once before to reseal the glass to the the reflector - not doing that again!

 

Picked up one low tone and one high tone horn at the local parts store for about $14 apiece. Made sure they were two connector type and not a case grounded single connector type. Horns came with a grounding wire to attach one of the connectors to the mounting plate bolt for ground. Neither horn was polarity conscious so it made the installation even easier.

 

Took my subie for a spin to test lights and horns, when there wasn't any other traffic of course. Wouldn't ya know it, I picked a side street set with a speed trap. Luckily I wasn't speeding and only testing the horns.

 

Lights on and horn at the ready!

 

Thanks.

Good deal. Thanks for the feedback.
