73 Headlight warning light
I guess this is supposed to come on every time the headlights are up, at least it used. Not that you wouldn't notice the headlights are up :lol: This isn't really a big deal but I have about 3 days off so I figured I might go and troubleshoot this switch. Anybody have any experience with this, location of the switch etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: 73 Headlight warning light (73 LS-4)
There are two switches, one on each headlight.
I light on the dash comes on when you pull the light switch until the headlight is up and locked in.
If one is broken, the dash light stays on whenever the switch is on.
From under the car each has a wire running to it. If the light never comes on then they are probably broken and someone unplugged them.
The switches are available throught venders for $24-29 each and they just screw in.
Hope this helps.

Re: 73 Headlight warning light (trw)
Well nobody unplugged them since it used to stay on every time I turned the headlights on, Now I never see it come on, so they just must be plain broken. But If I understand what your saying is that I should see the light under the initial pull of the headlight switch and should immediately go out once both headlights are fully up. Thanks trw

One of my switches was broken. I removed the switch and taped over the end of the wire going to the switch and the light appears only while the lights are rising. If your light does not burn ever and it use to then the bulb may have finailly died.
