Quick headlight question

Dan-MI · 07-21-2006

I've seen a bunch of threads about the white light on the dash being on. Mine just started going on too. My quick question is: Do you have to pull the whole light bucket out to get at the switches? I appears you have to, but thought it'd be worth a quick check to see if anyone has a slick way around that.
thx

Yes you do, and the rotating mechanism, the microswitches are on the back side of the rotaters.

You can also re-wire the headlight circuit
to bypass the microswitches. Diagnosis
and schematics are in the August 2004 OMC Blitz.

Dan, it goes on if the lights don't latch in the open position, so make sure they latch first. FYI in case this isn't the problem you can pop out the little light cluster on the I/P and just take the bulb out.
