Hi all,
Thought my headlight issue was resolved.
Currently, I have no headlights.
I have 12v going into the dimmer switch from the big red wire.
Something strange is I either have 12v or about 3v coming out to the yellow wire which feeds the H/L switch.
Regardless however, 12 or 3v, I have no lights.
I then jumped the yellow wire going into the H/L switch to the green wire on the H/L switch after replacing the switch and no difference was made and the headlights still don't turn on.
Any ideas? I'm pretty stumped. Should I try jumping straight from the red wire on the dimmer switch to the green wire on the H/L switch to see if the headlights will turn on? They will turn on if I connect 12v from the battery directly to the green or tan wire at the headlight itself.
What's causing the voltage drop through the dimmer switch?
