92 efi 200 k---I'm stuck about 100 miles from home and have no head lights-everything else works---changed fuses 30-40-30 twice--lucky I had spares--need help as soon as possible--sitting in a parking lot (515) 803-9556

An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. -
Just some thoughts:
1. Does the main fuse (MAIN) or the one for the headlights (HEAD) keep blowing?
2. Does wiggling the light switch do anything?
3. Bad headlight relay?
4. Can the headlights be temporarily wired directly to the battery?
5. Ground issue, or a short?
6. Last resort: sleep in car until dawn, then drive home.
EDIT: just talked to him; it's already fixed, he's on his way home! It was the relay, which he jumped to get the lights back.Last edited by TominMO; 06-21-2012, 10:47 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

We have lights
Hello Friends i'm home, thanks to Freshtiva and Tominmo, thanks for the call tom.
Fresh called and had his repair book in hand, the problem was the headlight relay had gone bad, so as he read through the book he found that we could jump some wires and have headlights, so thats what i did and all is good.
Again Thanks friends for the help.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment
