sirtokesalot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 i noticed today my passenger headlight is alot dimmer than the drivers side i also noticed that my fog lights and low beams seem to be shutting off when i change to high beams even thogh i had changed it so they will stay on when high beams are selected. what should i be looking at for problems i havent looked into it yet as i just noticed it tonite on my ride home and its dark out so i dont want to mess with it tonite but i figure i could ask what to check in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I would be checking grounds. They seem to create problems if something isn't grounded properly and or loose ground. For it to happen when things were good, connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaseMonkey03 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 First place I would look is wherever it is that you changed it so they would stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirtokesalot Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) well the wiring i had done looks just as good as the day i had done it no melty happening. its blowing one of the headlight fuses when the high beams are selected witch is causing the light to go dim. it dident click in my head until i started typing this that i had put a screw through the plastic panel under the engine bay to keep it from falling down and dragging on the road. turns out the screw i put in drove its way right through the wiring harness that runs along the lower radiator support. yay looks like i have to get under there again and pull the loom off and see what damage i caused. i dident know i screwed into the harness until now as i had gone out and checked.

sirtokesalot Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 its fixed now the screw went through 2 wires and i think was grounding on the frame. i cut the wires fully soldered and heat shrink over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
