lighting problem ... need to fix or the kia wins

[gdsqdcr]

I have a 94 BLUE MTX ... Sometimes when I turn the headlights on they dont come on. All the parking lights all come on. To get the headlights on, I have to flash the high beams ...

what gives?
I am being told by my gf that I cant drive the SHO at night tillit is fixed. If I need to go out, I drive the Kia Sportage ... PLEASE HELP!

THanks

Bad headlight switch maybe?

Does your Autolamp function work?

Yeah, the autolight function still works.

Had that problem before but it mysteriously went away...i think it's got something to do with the windshield wiper stalk and the high beams though. Sometimes when I would switch from High beams to regular they would all shut off. The stalk was replaced for intemittent wipers, and that problem seems to have disappeared also. That would be my guess as to the culprit of your problems.

Hope this helps...

Well, it isnt the light switch. Replaced it. When I did, I found that the plastic connectdor at the end of the wire harness, in other words, the plastic connector that plugs into the light switch was melted. I installed a new connector. Still no low beams. I have high beams. The autolights do not make the low beams come on either. REplaced the bulbs with new ones. Still no low beams. It has been suggested to me that the ERUOLIGHTS high powered bulbs which were gauranteed to work without a harness, burned out my low beam harness. =)
THe car is going to the dealer as soon as a dealer can take it. Currently the car is blind, so I am now stuck with driving the kia. What thrills!! A kia stick shift. WoW!! What power, but as my girlfriend said, At least it can see where it is going!"

Thanks ... Anthony

P.S. I would not buy the lights from Eurolights again. They have been far from cooperative. I bought several lights from them that went out during warranty which they are refusing to honor and now this.
