there an actual relay for the high beams? The high beams used to work about
a month ago, then when I tried it a few days ago they will not click on. I
already removed the turn signal indicator unit and checked wiring , etc.
when I pull the lever it makes a connection with the connector. The wires
seem OK from the head to the base of the steering column. I will try
grounding them to see what happens. >>
Yes, there is a relay for the high / low beams. Grounding the brown wire with
a white stripe completes that part of the circuit, switching the relay. If it
doesn't click or switch, then the relay needs to be replaced.The reason for
grounding the wire, is to test the relay. Have you also checked the fuses? I'm
only asking because my 69 Square had that problem too, and it turned out to be
a combination of the wire and the fuses. I hope this helps.
