No headlights best guess?
Hi,
I got no headlights either side from the control stalk.
Headlights do not raise either side
high beams will pulse on when I flick the control stalk back in flash mode but of course the buckets are down.
What is the wild a$$ guess to what my problem is?
Thanks guys!

yup 3 and 4 are fine. I heard a relay clicking in the passenger foot well when the stalk is used. Stalk works fine for everything else. motors make no noise and there are no lights except the flassher high beams. Funny thing is the blinker on the left and right are both faster than normal like twice as fast. Lighting systems in the manual are 1/4" thick and use tech2 to test all the systems! It is very complex but does not explain theory of operation. It looks like the RH light carries the lighting module and there is only one of those. This system uses a module to power the lights like the HID systems? So does anyone know how to test or what the input voltage is suppoed to be to the module?

The module only raises and lowers the lamps. Both are commanded at the same time from a single wire which comes from the headlamp switch. Also, both low-beams are powered by a single wire from the headlamp switch(tan wire). If your fuses are good, check the ground packs on the frame rails directly adjacent to the hood risers. Most likely its the headlamp switch. If you have the twighlight sentinel option, turn it off in the DIC and manually turn on the lamps again and see if there's a difference.

Ahhh....a new clue. If I manually put up the lights they still don't come on but if I cut the battery power with them up then restore battery power the buckets close like normal and sound perfectly normal. I'll check grounds. This is on a racecar so I don't need lights except nightime enduros or rain which is rare like one race a year. If I can't get the oem system to work and the switch is expensive I might just hard wire the lights and motors on some kind of extra dash switch. But I would like to get the OEM system working just because it might be easy.
