I've got a pretty clean '91 GL Camper with a Subaru conversion and on the way home from a camping trip outside of Shasta last year, I noticed what seemed to be the headlights getting slightly dimmer. When I got home, I walked around the car and noticed that my running lights were out. It was very late and I had work in the morning, so I put it off for another day. That day has finally come, so I've started trouble-shooting. Here is the current status of the patient: - Headlights work. - Running lights do not at either switch setting. - Dashboard lights also do not work. - The car stereo works. - Both fuses 7 & 8 are fine. - Dashboard powered from aux battery (currently at 2.9V!). Aside from the low battery, I'm suspecting this is an issue with the headlight switch. Any diagnostics I can do with a voltmeter, as I understand those M-pin switches are hard to come by and don't want to spend a pile on something I don't need.
Thanks mucho, MB -- ________________________________________________________________________ Mark Belanger - mbelanger@gmail.com |
