ok so my headlights just stoped working,the hi-beams work when you pull the turn signal switch only not when you push the turn signal switch,is there another fuse/relay pannel that im missing besides the one under the steering wheel



thanks in advance...

would you use your headlights and your foglights together alot??

[neverfastenough1]

More than likely what he is getting at when he asked if you use your fog lights a lot, is the factory wiring melts the headlight switch when you use the lights together for long periods of time. I would check the headlight switch to see if it looks melted. If not, I would also check the mfs. TMoss has a wiring diagram that shows the upgrade to keep this from happening.

Could be both but more than likely, it is just the switch, that is a common failure. To much current to run the headlights and fog lights and the switch overheats. Search around google or use the link above from TMOSS on how to power the foglights from a seperate circuit through a relay. There are different ways to do it but all do basically the same thing. I did mine all outside the car in the engine compartment.

i swapped the switch out with the one in my other mustang and it still does not work,the plug looks melted,so the wiring must be fryed,its weird cuz the headlight hi-beam works when you pull it but nothing else...

[ridebmxfbm]

yes the high beams will work, its your Multi-Function Switch that melted thats the turn signal switch, you will need a new Headlight switch, and mulifunction switch, and the plug for the headlights that goes into the MFS will be melted.. just how mine was... the headlight and foglight switches have to touch each other electricity wise for them to work, soo the burnt/messed MFS switch will not return the fog light electricity to the headlights therefore no lights work besides the high beams which are compeltely different...

[sheb]

is there a quick fix untill the weekend besides rewiring the whole thing like the links above,i need to drive it to work @ 3am...

[ridebmxfbm]

yes there is take it out.. the mfs switch and connect the headlight and the foglight wires together with electrical tape until you get it fixed but DO NOT turn on your foglights at all... seriously.. just your headlights

[sheb]

what color are the wires that i have to connect

[91cobra5.0]

drive with just high beams, it will be a bitch but you wont risk a fire

[ridebmxfbm]

right/black, and light green idk if thats right but try it... and see lemme know if that works...

[unleashedperformance]

i found this thread today after my car did the same as the first poster. only i have a lx without foglights on top of that the guy that had the car before me cut off the pigtail to the headlght switch so i have bare wires just hanging out still waiting for it to burn down. so doest my car have the multifunction switch and where is it

[87gtmustang]

my car did the same thing i fixed the head/foglight switch.. had to rewire all that but the headlights still didnt work i pulled the blinker switch and that was melted to... i havnt found a replacment yet but when i drive i have to hold the switch to me
brand new there $100

[unleashedperformance]

well i dont understand cause my wipers work my blinkers work my brights work and thats the multifunnction switch. my headlight switch only turns on the running lights so im completely lost

[87gtmustang]

yeah if you pull the the whole blinker switch off youll see that its melted to if you fix that then everything should be working again

and thats just what mines doing i already rewired it so it wont happen again but i havent found the new blinker switch yet

edit i didnt read your first post but it still. its probably your blinker switch
