Front head lights dont work. Fuses and relays are good. Switch seems to be working.
turn signals on dash all light up. turning left or right and both flash.
Any ideas??????

I didn't see lamps on your list. I once had both tail lights go out at the same time. Figured it must be some electrical issue for both lights to go. Nope, both bulbs blew more or less around the same time. Been "fixed" for a couple years now.

First check for voltage at lamps, if you have voltage at the lamps, then you would check for current.....if no voltage at the lamps, the check voltage at the switch.--my guess is the switch is bad, but obviously you have to test the circuit to be certain......I'll see if I have the light circuit saved in my computer or my favorites in my browser

couldn't find my diagram, but I'll post a link below to a thread that has it...check fuse 5 on the "power distribution center" - it's a 40 amp fuse. Check it with a meter. Then check the fuse block--fuses #9 and 10. Both 15 amp fuses....also check to see if power distribution center is getting power and has a good ground.........and I should have asked this--do your parking lights work?

Likely the headlight switch. My lights would flash on and off randomly, once I replaced the switch the problem stopped. I later found out that all the voltage for the lights has to go through the switch before it gets to the lights themselves causing to heat up and melt, after that I installed the putco harness so the switch only had to power the relays, it puts a lot less stress on it. The harness also increases the light output hot stock bulbs quite a bit since you don't lose as much voltage.

Having this problem in an XJ, None of the lights are working, they were working briefly then they stopped again; Wires, Relays, Flashers, Fuses, Bulbs, all have been replaced and still nothing.
Can anyone help me?
