Subject:electrical problems with headlights
From:Karl Ploessl

I have problems with the headlights. No headlights or highbeams.
Indicator lights, rear lights, flashing lights are working. Switching
on the headlight switch turns on the high beam indicator light. A new
headlight switch and ignition switch did not change the condition.
Applying 12 volts directly (w/o headlight switch and the original
wire disconnected) to fuse #4 (common in for left and right
headlights) turns the marker lights on and the headlights dimmly
glow. Additionally the high beam indicator light comes on. The same
effect by putting 12 V directly on fuse #6 (common in for left and
right highbeams). Marker lights are turning on, the headlights
(highbeam part?) are dimmly lit and the high beam indicator light is
on again.
I need help. Any suggestions? This is a '81 model.
