  • no head lights and charge light on

    Ok last night went out to my car and started it up turned the lights on and had no head lights and one front marker was out. So i checked the fuses in the block on the tower all good and the ones inside the car are too. After i pulled one for the head lights the charge light came on now won't shut off. I think i have a bad ground some where but not sure just yet. What do you guys think?
    Thanks

    Clean the terminals on the connector block under the hood marked "head" had the same problem maybe 3 weeks ago!
    My cartridge fuse was fine, but corrosion was causing a problem.
    Would hit the high beams via pulling back on the stalk switch to signal a semi he was clear to get in front of me and the charge light would come on, then go out 20, 30, or 40 seconds later.
    This only happened on the way home in day light, in the morning, 6AM dark(before daylight savings time), headlights on and no issues.
    Later in the week, the charge light wouldn't go out and when it came time for to use the headlights they wouldn't work either.
    Pulled the cartridge fuse for the headlights and put it back on and presto everything is working fine.
    Cleaned the terminals and no problems.
    Terminals weren't really that bad either!
