Low-beam failure in my 1986 Caprice...

Last night on my way back from another town, I lost my low beams. I switched to the high beams and back to low and they worked, but this only worked a couple time before they wouldnt work at all. It doesnt appear to be a fuse problem, and the wires look fine running all the way to the headlights, and the high beams work fine.

so can anybody help me?

Headlight relay? Switch? Those would be my guess.

It's your dimmer switch. I've had this fail on my car twice - with the same result you're getting.

Hint: Don't go to Autozone to get one - this is the reason I'm on two and not one - they sell Wells electric stuff and it's just not there, quality-wise. My first Autozone switch burned up after only 3 months.

I would agree with the dimmer switch diagnosis. I had to replace that as well. It will cause you to loos your headlights when switching back and forth between high and low. But, its an easy fix.
