banzai510(hainz) Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 if you Emergency flasher and turn signal work then don't worry about the flasher cans. they both working. If not then let us know. but has nothing to do with the highbeams when people put a aftermarket steeringwheel on they need to make sure the contack for the highbeam grounds so it triggers the relay. screw? I don't know what you mean the highbeam/light relay is on back side of the passenger side strut. one can wiggle the relay in HOPES for a Hail Mary and it starts working. I had a 510 I got and my highs didn't work. Find out both lamps were bad. WTF chance of that happening Quote Link to comment

I meant the screws or bolts that hold the steering plastic column together. Emergency lights are not working. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 turn signals work?????????? I notice my turnsignal did not work when the emergency switch was missing I did not have a spare so I jumpered the wires where the emergency switch would be. then they worked.(need the diagram) I wonrder how the previous OWNERS DO DUMB ASS SHIT LIKE THIS. Such a simple car Quote Link to comment

Such a simple car correction, I had someone flip switch to high beam I do hear a click sound on the passenger side by the fuse box. Turn signal work, but the side mark are not. I believe they were never meant to blink, correct me if I'm wrong. Again emergency light does not work, but turn signal work and low beam. No dice on the high beam, I just might need new high beam. I'll go at it with a voltmeter. I will report back. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have a whole bunch of spare bulbs at my house that i could part with. They are on the pay it forward thread too. If you need new bulbs let me know Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 for the high beams get a test light. 5$ ground alligator end then take pointer to the back of the highbeam lamp. with lights OFF both sides will light. now put lights ON and put the beam in High. now one side of lamp the light will go to ground and the test lamp will be OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! this will show if switching system works. you can do this with the outter low/hgh lamp also. all 3 connections will light the test lamp with lights OFF with light switched pulled to ON low beam one of the 3 will go to ground. then with it on HIGH another goes to ground and the other switches back to lighting the lamp. So if you hear a click then the relay is tripping. But I believe its most likely corrosion on the contanks inside the relay.. If you have a spare or one can open up the can and find clean the contacks. well your car is legal enuff anyways. try swapping those 2 flasher cans underneath to see if the proplem moves on the emergency/turn signals. wiring looks ok on this car so don't be a newbie dumbass splicing wires and shit. we will tell you how to do it with out ruin wiring harness Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 All side and back lights work, high beam doesn't. Any suggestions guys. Bulbs burned out? Unplugged? Do the low beams go off when Highs switched on??? If not the relay is not working. Relay clicking? Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Just had same issue with high beams (among other electrical gremlins!), relay on PASSENGER SIDE strut tower, facing fuse box, outer relay closer to fender........heard clicking when high beams switched on, pulled relay off car, found TWO of the wires on underside where the wire/solder had broken! Inside relay, contact set could be bad or broken wire......pry tiny tabs away, open up, check it out! Then................. On ALL relays AND fusebox............soak in white vinegar over night! (you have to open up all the relays, do NOT soak with lids on!). The vinegar cleans all the corrosion off electrical stuff. Once soaked, I wash down with electrical contact cleaner spray (aerosol) or Brakleen, make sure all is dry, reassemble, should work great again! I just re-did ALL of the relays & switches on a 1970 that my buddy just bought, everything works now! Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Do you still need the distributor parts? I might have, just let me know! Quote Link to comment
