All my lights turn on except for both my headlights. its not the light bulbs. I checked the fuse box and they seem good still. I can hear the relay clicking when i turn it on which means its good right. i checked the switch and i found out my dimmer lights switch is broken, but does that have anything to do with the headlights? thats just lights for the tachometer right and that the lights already on for that. the wires seem connected i dont know what else to look for. what could be the problem? i got hid lights could it be the hid kit box itself? but they both went out would that be strange that its both and not just one?

SOURCE: 1986 Toyota Pickup Instrument lights and tail lights out

Even though the relay is activated,I assumed you checked the out put?Also,You checked the voltage at the light sockets?With a meter,or test light ,check the fuse for the cluster lps,adjust them to dim,and to bright,the meter should act accordingly on the fuse.If it does not,replace the dimmer control,or head light switch,witch ever controls them.This may allow continuity to the tail lights as well.If the fuse is dead for the cluster lights,replacing the dimmer control,or head light switch will solve the problem,or,from another fuse ,supply voltage to the cluster lp fuse,one that is only hot with the key on,cause if you do this the dash lights will come on,every time you run the vehicle,day,or night.

Hi.

Check first the fuse inside the car. There are two 10A fuses for the headlights (a single one in the model with twin headlight), check also if there is a 30A fuse for the headlight dimmer. The dimmer (DLR) should be fuse 17. Check also the head light relay and the DLR relay located under the hood near to the windshield wiper reservoir, they should read HEAD and DLR. This should be marked HEAD.

I tried to scan a wiring diagram from the service manual. Here the picture.

Toyota hiace lights wount come on

Check the dimmer switch! Head lights should still work if dimmer! But no interior dash lights! Fuse for lights is under hood in fuse center! If it is the headlights I would check the switch and if applicable the relay! I assume you have checked for ground at the light and power at the headlight fuses!! Good luck

All my lights come on except for the headlights. The only way I have headlights is to pull back on the dimmer switch. Could it be the relay or? If it is the relay how do I get to them, I see them behind...

ok, First , By pulling back on the dimmer switch thats the high beams working, have you checked the head light bulbs? before tracking down relays , or fuses, check the bulbs with a meter, at times the burned filament is hard to see, you could have had one out, and the other finally quit working too, so do a bulb check first , if you do need to get to the relays,, you need to disconnect the battery first ( always neg side first if you have air bags then positive side, when hooking it back up, reverse this order) then locate the attaching screws that hold the fuse box in place, and lower it,, allowing you access to the relay

When i turn on the head light it doest light up

Check and confirm, that headlight bulbs are glowing.If the bulb itself is faulty, it will not light.If bulb checked out, ok, then other possibility can be headlight fuse in the engine compartment fuse box.There are two 15a fuses located in the fuse holder assembly on the driverside engine compartment.Check both this fuses.Also check the relays in the fuse compartment.-------- If any of the fuse or relay is blown, replace that and see.But if all fuses and relay checked ok, then its quite possible that problem is with head light switch itself.Its getting short.------------
This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

1986 Supra. Head lights pop up but does not turn on.

the headlight pop-up circuit is different from the lights themselves. Check the headlight fuses in the engine compartment fuse box. If the fuses are good then check the headlight relay. It is in the same fuse box just behind the headlight fuses. (The headlight relay is the second relay from the right side of the fuse box. the relay at the far right is the electronic fuel injection main relay.)

No Dash lights, or tail lights. All fuses and bulbs are good. Headlights and turn signals fine. Very confused....please help.

Sounds as if you may have a short did you check the bulbs? I would check the bulbs and make sure they are good. when you lift the rear hatch lid search around the wires and see if you have a exposed wire or perhaps a loose wire connection. Allot of times wires in a vehicle that year start getting frayed and worn from putting different items in the rear of the vehicle.

My 1992 Corolla DX headlights won't come on! I have changed the fuses and the bulbs. The relay clicks when turning the switch and the wiring seems to be in good condition but I am no electrician. The...

Power flows from the battery to the main fuse. Then it flows to the control coil and contact side of the headlight relay. When you turn on the headlights, the headlight switch provides ground to the control coil in the headlight relay and that operates the contacts. The contacts allow power to flow to the right and left hand headlight fuses. Power flows to the headlights. The headlight switch is what provides ground to the high and low beams on the headlights.

To diagnose, remove the headlight relay. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage on terminals 3 & 4 in the socket with the key in the RUN position. Then turn on the low beams. Test for good ground on terminal 1 in the socket. If you're not getting ground, then you've got a problem with either a bad headlight combo switch or a bad ground. If you get good ground on terminal 1, reinstall the relay, turn on the low beams and test for power in the headlight sockets. If you get battery voltage, that confirms you've got good fuses and wiring up to that point. Next, check for good low beam ground on the red/green wire in the bulb socket. If you're not getting good ground, it's either a bad combo switch or bad ground from the combo switch. Then turn on the high beams and check for good ground on the red/yellow wire in the bulb sockets.

It wouldn't hurt to clean the ID ground on the left side of the instrument panel, but based on everything you've said so far, this sounds like a bad combo switch

Headlights Won't turn on, 1995 Sonoma`

Sounds like you need to check out your local public library for a service manual to find the headlight relay, or in the owner's manual. Either one will help you determine which relay is which. It would be a good idea to take notes and that way you will know which relay controls what.
