Main beam headlight flash not working
Hell all I have nearly done all the jobs on my 1987 vette I hope this is the lady one to sort 😂 I have had the dash outvto replace some of the bulbs and lowered the steering column on the adjuster to to remove the dash cluster I also repaired the brake light switch . since disturbing everything the blue warning lamp didn't light when you pull on the direction indicator stalk and the lamps don't flash . whenni put the column back to its original position moved it up and slid the steering wheel back in it started to work ( coincidence?) so i I then went on to put everything back together again but it's stopped working again ? is it something on the column I should be checking or is there a headlight flash relay I can change out swop with another from the car to test ? Thanks all |
On my 92 I had the same problem. could not flash or engage high beams. I had to adjust the switch down on the steering column, The lever moves a rod that goes to a switch just above the brake pedal. I know there are some differences in earlier columns, but GM used this setup for a lot of years.
On mine the switch shares a screw with the ignition switch so don't get that out of adjustment https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f316487d86.jpg |
Predictive typing lol hell it should have said hello
I would have got more replies 😂 thanks for the reply I'll check that out and hope it just an adjustment seems like I have disturbed something I'll report back thanks again 👍 |
Thanks Bellair Brian that out me in the right place switch wasn't going fully in when column switch pulled back was sticking I think lubed it wd40 now clicking in.and out high beam on then off 😁👍 nice one |
I forgot to ask if I want to adjust it so the rod moves further when the column switch is pulled how do I do it ? Thanks again |
I think this pic might show it better, You have to loosen the fasteners and slide it. This is were I was saying it shares fasteners with the ignition switch so you have to be careful it doesn't move
