64 - Suddenly no power to headlights or motors....

[Andrew P.]

Help!

I was adjusting the headlights angle then suddenly no power. The headlights and headlight motors do not work. The turn signals do not blink. The interior dash lights are fine. The battery is fine and everything else works perfectly. The fuses look fine. When I turn the light switch to "on" OR try to move the lights up or down, the turn signal indicator dash lights both come on solid along with a red light in the middle of the cluster. If the light switch is "on", moving the turn signal right or left will make the signal come on BUT they do not flash.

I know someone knows exactly what this is... HELP!!! Most everything is new including the harness BUT a few of the relays are the originals.
Everything worked perfectly 2 hours ago except the headlights needed adjusting. Now nada... Grrrrrrr

Thoughts???

try wiggling the white plastic connector at the firewall end of the headlight harness where it plugs into the back of the fuse panel. some silicone grease on the contacts will help prevent oxidation. good liuck,mike

Typically when the turn and high beam lamp glow when you turn something else on, it is a ground problem. I would look at the header bar or the radiator support for grounds.

Thanks Guys,
It was the W/B Ground wire to the radiator mount. Loose.
