Hit a pot hole and my headlights went out but my tracking, turn signals, brake lights work. my high beam indicater on the insturment cluster doesnt light up either. checked fuses and all looked good.

no COUNTY TOLD ON THIS WORLD WIDE WEB, FORUM.
SORRY CARS ARE NOT THE SAME ALL OVER EARTH YET.
old 1991 last 91 I restored had 15 serious probems.
so know them well, too well really
Mitsubishi zero almost killed my dad, by 20 ft miss. on CVA WWII battle of Coral Sea. (nasty) I am so lucky to be here,
so you'd never see me give them dime ever.GRIN !
ok end rant, short
well fix this first
headlights suddenly went off
head lamps work key off, and is super super easy to fix
this simple 1991 design
fuse marked HL.
fuse blown
head lamp switch bad,
head lamps high beam fail too???
high beam flasher dead too?????
blinkers fast means blinkers feed is shorted.
but the hazards say not.
seems to me the whole multi function switch is bad.
gee are not all 91s like that, most are, now.
always fix head lamps bad first. it is childs play simple
no BCM brain here to pull out, hair,
a fuse, a switch and a lamp
I have the schematic for it, seen here but is not free, the best things are not free, due to being more accurate.
Those lights are on different circuits. The high and low beam lights are powered thru the headlight switch, the turn signals, brake, and hazards go thru the turn signal switch. I would want to know if each circuit has power at the switch that controls it.
There is a relay that controls the headlights, volvo calls it a step relay. You will have to check that power is getting to this relay. If not, check all fuses and wiring. If power supply checks out ok, you may have to replace the relay. Let me know if you need any more info or a wiring diagram.
You have a bad mutifunction switch or headlight switch is going bad and is over heating then cooling off comming back on Have a mechanic check it cause there are other things that can cause this. Since it's not blowing a fuse at this time I would say the head light switch is bad.
So, when u turn on the high-beams, the indicator light goes on, but u still have low beam headlights only? Check the headlight (either one), and see if by chance both high beams burned out at approx. the same time. U don't specify what year, I'm not sure if u have a replacement bulb, or a sealed beam headlight to replace. If the high beams are both ok, then it must be the headlight high beam switch. Let me know what u find.
it's an electrical short you have a connector that is bad and probably shorted . chances are when you hit that pot hole you knocked a connector loose are a wire came off. if you replace the fuse and it still doesn't work that tells you that there is a loose wire or bad bulbs or a bad socket so you have to check each of these to find the problem and seeing is your dome light stays on that tells me that your circuit to the dimmer switch is shorting to your head light circuit so check the connetor to the dimmer switch. i hope this helps please rate this...thanks
First check around all the lights (front, rear, headlight, turn signal, parking, fog, etc..) for loose, broken, or bare wires, and/or loose , broken, or bad connectors. Any of these could cause the lighting to short. If everything is in good working order, then the problem will most likely lie with switch inside the column (the lever).
