Not So QuickThis has happened to me twpo or three times over the years with my '93 sport Cherokee; I believe the dash lights go out as a safety feature to the driver that their taillights are not working; cool huh?...Mike O. Answerdash and taillights are on a separate circuit. Check fuses, bulbs, haeness. You may have a blown fuse (check first), or shorted, broken wire. sounds like a fuse to me or broken wire.

How to adjust Dodge Dakota headlights?

Take it to the dealer. You have neither the expertise nor the equipment to do this correctly. It depends on what year it is. If it is a 2nd Gen Dakota, there is a torx screw on the top of the headlamp which adjusts the up and down and one on the radiator side adjusts the side to side adjustment. Gregg

I replaced the headlight in my 1993 Chevy S10 and now neither of the headlights work and the high beam indicator won't shut off how do I go about fixing this issue?

Probably have a "dimmer switch problem" The switch is mounted on the side of the steering column and can be replaced easily. Using a test light, 3 wires are at the switch. the wire coming down from the headlight switch that should be hot when headlight switch is activated. The other two are outputs which go to the high or low circuit of the headlights respectively.Easy to fix with a 12 volt test light for troubleshooting.

No, the conjunction "or" should be replaced with "nor" to maintain parallel structure with "neither." The corrected sentence would be: "The top award was given to neither Steve nor Jim."

Any suggestions why headlights on 92 ford Taurus won't turn on bright or low beams?

First check fuses in the fuse box above the brake pedal. Remove the plastic cover and check each fuse. A working fuse will have a solid metal filament. In a dead fuse, the filament will be broken. Second, check the bulbs to see if they need to be replaced. If neither of these fixes the problem, you may have a broken headlight switch or multipurpose switch (turn signal stick).


How do you replace the headlights on a 2001 Honda Civic EX?

I wanted to help those who are like me. People who have: 1) lost their manual and don't want to take out a small loan to buy a replacement 2) have burned out light bulbs 3) are cheap and don't want to pay someone to do it 4) have looked online and haven't been able to find any anwers. This may apply to Honda Civic's for 2001 through 2004, but I'm not sure. I can only speak for my 2001 Civic LX. I may add pictures later (if people ask or need). Btw - this is not an official way to do things. The manual may say something different, and I may be omitting some steps that may be important, but if you just want to get the job done this instructional may provide at least some confidence. I have found the driver's side headlamp to be the easiest one to replace. There's a small bottle that stands in the way. It may be steering fluid or transmission fluid of some sort. Just lift it up and out of the way and turn it so you can access the small area behind the headlamp. You'll see a black round rubbery flange type of covering (approx 4-5" wide) with a black squarish rectangular plastic box (a little over an inch wide) with wires attached to it in the center. Make sure your headlights are turned off. Pull the black rectangular plastic box off first. This is the plug to the headlamp. Next pull off the black rubber thing. This is the cover and insulation to the headlamp. Next is the tricky part. There's a round metal wire that goes around the lamp. It's job is to secure the headlamp in place and make sure it doesn't rattle around when driving. It kind of hangs on one or two tiny little clips. Pull the round wire upwards and lift it over the clip(s). Then you can pull the wire away and down from the headlamp. Btw - I usually use the Sylvania cool blue type of headlamp. It can be found at Kragen's for around $13 per bulb part number 9003. I don't like the totally blue ones because my eyes don't seem to respond well to the blue light. Once the wire is out of the way the bulb is easy to remove. Put the new bulb in, but try not to touch it with your fingertips as I've been told oils from your fingers can drastically shorten the bulb's life. Check the appearance of the bulb as it rests inside the housing. It should appear like the bulb on the opposite side. There are three tabs on the bulb. One tab should be facing straight up and the other two tabs should be facing downwards at near 45 degree angles. The bulbs I just replaced in my car (both) were only used for about 3 months so apparently I got really crappy life out of both (neither were replaced by me). After putting the new bulb in and making sure it is oriented correctly, pull the wire up and around the bulb. You will notice that the wire has the ability to completely retract below the headlamp housing so it may have hidden itself down below while you were futzing around with the headlamp. Just pull it back out so you can pull it over the headlamp and onto the clips again. Put the black rubber thing over the assembly and secure it. Then take the three pronged plug (black rectangular box with the wires attached) and secure it to the three prongs sticking out of the black rubber. If you don't see three metal prongs sticking out, then you have to reposition the black rubber thing so that the plugs of the headlamp are coming through the center hole of the black rubber. Turn your headlights on to see if it works. Now make sure you take the little bottle of steering fluid/transmission fluid (whatever) and put it back in place so when you close the hood it won't get in the way. Congratulations: You're finished! Do the same with the other side. The other side may be easier to work with depending on each person. As far as I know there's nothing to remove to get access to the rear side. Just get in there and do your thing. Your title made me to believe this was a how-to for replacing the headlights, yet once I read your write-up, I see it is a how-to for replacing just the headlight bulbs. You should have been clear in your title.
