I just got the car back from the shop. He changed the valve cover gaskets and fixed an exhaust manifold leak.

Now the headlights and front parking lights don't work. No fuse for these in the fuse box under th glove box. I have my maint manual loaned out. What else could it be? Are these fused somewhere else?


Thanks!

Id check the fwd light harness for a loose connection, broken wire or bad ground

Check the connection on the drivers side fender.  I had that thing shake loose cruzing on a dark country road one night :scared:

All of the sudden they work again. Drove the car around 2 times yesterday and everything is OK.

Sounds like my car actually.  Im having the same trouble only with my taillights.  Ever since I got the car (about a month ago), the taillights work sometimes, and other times they dont.  I had my brother behind the car watching them, as I wiggled every wire and connection and nothing happened.  Then I get out of the car and walk back to look at them and they just come on out of nowhere as im stepping out of the car.   :scratchchin: :shruggy:

remove the drivers kick panel- look at the connector- check for corrosion!

:yesnod:  Thats what I plan to do today.  I have already replaced the entire dash harness (while swapping to rallye gauges) and the problem is the same as before, so I know its not in the dash.  I will be replacing the taillights with the R/T lights as soon as I finish wiring them up.  The only thing that leaves is the wires that run the length of the car.  So I will get it sooner or later.   ;)
