2nd time this happens

Post by LuisMateoSpider »

Hi guys need some help,

All of the sudden my right high beam stop working along with my left front blinker. I remember a mechanic fixing that when I asked him to take a look at my dash as the gas gauge, temp gauge, tachometer and clock among other things.

Has anyone experienced something like that? I don't have blown fuses...

I found it!

It was a loose terminal in the wheel well, and the head light, no clue it started working on its own... Originally I thought it was something to do with a short circuit as the marker light did work it was the signal, so the only cable loose was the signal one.

It's probably a loose connection somewhere. If I go over a certain set of bumps they shut off, If I go over another set, they go back on. I'm not kidding. I've been looking for my headlamps for a couple of months now.

So far so good,

I cleaned the terminals and re-connected again, and good! I have a similar problem with the radio (the previous owner installed a modern one) and it tends to stop working now and then...
