82 1.6L na vanagon headlight issues &fuseblock wire id help!
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2013 12:57 pm
Full disclaimer. Just bought this van, Bentley is on the way.
Key off-headlights and tail come on w/ hl switch in full on position.
Key on- with hl switch to middle "running light" position; hl and taillights come on, turn signals work for rear but front turn signals and hazards flash the headlights instead of side indicators. Pull high beam switch and hl go off, high beam indicator comes on. Also turn signal green led indicator partially lit up but not fully. With hl switch in the normal fully on position, hl off!
Cluster lights getting 11v to bulb but don't come on. Cluster removed and cleaned with contact cleaner. Same symptoms with cluster removed so the short? is not there.
Disassembled hl switch (there is a helpful vanagain YouTube video) and cleaned contacts, it is in good shape with no melting or any signs of damage.
HL switch terminals:
X 30
58
56 58b 30
Can anyone tell me how to test the voltages or ohms this should be reading in various positions, AND where the wires go? Where does hl switch ground?
Cleaned grounds and added extra ground to cluster wiring.
Loose (unplugged) wire found behind fuseblock
Red going to clear connector, becomes white. Paired with red coming from fuse becoming white with black stripe after clear connector. Picture is the best I could do...hope it's good enough!
Thanks very much for any input. I have been banging my head on a wall for 3 days with this. Have searched archives and read all I can on related issues but still not getting anywhere.
Anything helps!
