SOURCE: Headlights don't work

Try replacing the bulbs in the sealed beam. Bulb #9007, do both. Lift lid, disconnect electrical wires, unlock o ring, pull out bulb. Replace bulb and reverse the order

SOURCE: headlights

they are not on any fuse, headlights are never fused, they have what is called an intermittent circuit breaker built into the main light switch.

SOURCE: No headlights, they work if I hold the high beam/wiper arm back

If you have an AUTO off/on/delay this could be malfunctioning, you may also need a need headlight switch however, First check your low beam halogen bulbs if they are bad replace BOTH at the same time they tend to fail at a similar time and this is the least costly repair NOTE wen changing these do not touch bulb with bare hand as oils from your skin can cause the to heat unevenly and explode inside your headlight assembly Use rubber gloves most Parts stores have these available for this reason

SOURCE: what does the fuse diagram look like for a 1988

Headlights typically do not use fuses, but rather circuit breakers. That makes the lights function longer than fuses.

Have you checked to be sure that both low beams are not burned out? It is a common problem, if you do not notice the first light burned out.

If yours are a halogen style DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS with your fingers. Oils from your fingers will alter the glass, and it will burn out prematurely. No Touchie, and if so, clean with alcohol and swab. Costs less too, as bulbs last much longer.

SOURCE: Headlights do not work

It cost me just under $700.00 to have a dealership replace the headlight control module.

Hi, 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. High beams work but not the low beams.

Hi Yada, I was looking up wiring diagram, maybe you'll can use it? My thought was check fuses for voltage, if no voltage, have to backtrack to dimmer. Have a good day.

My headlights on my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer don't work. It's not the fuse. What could it be?

Check to see if your high beams work, also play with the combination switch that controls the headlights, it is typical for it to wear out and cause these problems.

Low beams don't work on 1997 Honda Civic

If your high beams work and your low beams do not work... try changing the light bulbs first. The low beams can burn out and the high beams still work.

My headlight low-beams don't work, yet the

I had a similar issue with a 92 Saturn SL1, were the problem wasn't anything easy. It ended up being that the wiring was so old and worn out (Somehow) that I ended up just buying the replacement light sockets with the wire leads and rebuilt the headlights to run off from toggle switches mounted on the dashboard.

Click headlights to low beam and no lights work on high beam

I'm not sure exactly what your problem is. When you "click" your lights to low beam, your high beams should not work. But if your low beams work when you "click" them on, but your high beams don't work when you "click" them on, you either have a blown fuse, bad relay or high beam elements burned out on both lamps. (Not so unusual) Possibly a bad "dimmer" stalk switch or bad wiring, too, but a little less likely.

No headlamps on 97 Mountaineer.

Buy 1 bulb and insert in each socket one at a time. If the low beam does not work on either side you know it is not because of the bulb. Then you will have 1 extra bulb for emergencies. Ask at autoparts about a headlight relay for lowbeam. When you wrote that highbeams work on pullback you did not say if they stay on high. You have "Flash to Pass" for highbeam which can be a different circuit. The automatic headlight switch is yet another set of contacts to go bad. You should set "auto" to off so you are not fighting this feature when testing. Good Luck
