Re: Re: Re: Re: Headlights not working.

Okay. You are correct on having power to the fuse that was obvious. The word (no) is a typo. However, I found the problem. The shorted or actually broken wire was located at the solid connection of the turn signal assembly on the steering column. There are three rows of wire connections. The inside row has (12 wires), the middle has (7 wires) and the outside has (3 wires). All of these (22 wires total) appear to be spot-welded to the connector thats why I called it a solid connection.The (3 wire) connection consists of grey (top), yellow (middle) and purple (bottom) wires. Well both the (grey) and the (yellow) wires had broken spot-welds. Bad news is that there are (2) star screws that mount the turn signal assembly. The one on top next to the emergency flasher was easy but the one on the front face was hard to reach because it was so close to the steering column. Stripped out the star insert of the screw so Im going to attempt repair without removing. (Got any ideas.) I should have spent the extra time to buy the proper tool. I hate when I do that. These wires are accessable somewhat since they are on the outside. My patience was starting to run thin when I stripped the screw plus with the rain and all I decided to pick back up on it tomorrow. Slowly but surely getting there...Dennis
