Guest bierback Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I need some help with the headlights on my 1965 Riviera. I have replaced the Head lamp switch and I have a relay coming. Does the relay only control the visors or does it also generate the circuit to the head lights as well?My problem(although I have many outside the Riviera) is I have tail lights, I have park lights, My visors both open and close with the headlight switch, but my head lights do not work(light). I can hear the relay click when I pull the switch but no light. I have the dimmer switch plugged in the extra wire that normally goes to the cruisematic option is not connected to anything. I have cleaned and checked all grounds to no avail. Contacts to the switches and fuse block checked and cleaned( I believe the Orange and black wire going to the relayT's off connected to the yellow wire going to the fuse panel(fuse pos#2 on the fuse block)Please I could use some suggestions as to all areas to check!Thank you in advance!

Guest bierback Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Thought I would post an update!\I was able to find the issue. It turned out to be the combination of corroded contacts at the headlight wiring harness and I was able to determine both low beam seal beams were burnt out. When I hit the high beams at the dimmer switch the lower seal beams lit up. After replacing all four sealed beams the issue is resolved.I am just glad to say the visors are working great without the second relay having to be installed (ie "KNOCK ON WOOD") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I was wondering if the simple fix would be to replace the bulbs. Not likely that all beams would be burned out but strange things can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
