Headlights
« on: September 15, 2010, 04:04:54 am »
OK, so everyone knows what I have for the most part. An '01, QCSB 24 valve with the VP 44. It is built to the point that anything else will mean milling the intake & p=pumping it. So, I have a new problem. My brights do not work now. The only thing I can come up with is either the main switch, or the multi function switch. Any input will be looked at & checked out to a T. Thanks all in advance.

Jackass, you know because you drove it like this. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tom, this has been going on since the build. I must add that I put in one of the relay kits from Geno's about 6 months ago. It does it still with the factory hookup with the originals. I must also add that the new lights are 150% brighter than the old.

Look at post number 4 in this thread - check your wiring

http://www.dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram/179310-headlight-wiring-harness.html

I posted a different link for someone else recently, but can't find the post...

It's possible that the ground/high beam wire needs to be reversed

Got the headlights working. Also found the elusive short  :banging: that was created from pulling excessive wire out of the old girl from previous excursions. Kudos to Tom  :up: :up: :punk: for his time on the phone & several emails in figuring this PITA out. Get the dash back together tomorrow & she will be ready to roll again.
