Jeorge Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 I have Finnally Riped out my old harness and started to install my new one that I paid TO MUCH FOR $125 and it included the switch...this harness is the one that Runs from the Pass side inside firewall and ends at the Horns.... well I Figured I we would be smart...and Test it before Putting it in...well DAMNIT I still do not have headlights I have Fogs and Parking/turns but Damnit....so I figured I paid so much for the books for this POS I tested the wires in the harness by Putting a Leed to the Wire of the colors of headlights...well they worked..so now I am in a bit of a Pickel....My car is Jacked up and The alt, coolent bypass, and bottom of the Dash all Riped apart....I have Tested and the switch is good how ever if I Run a Jumper from the constant power for the switch to the Dimmer still no lights...I have Gone to the Junction box after that and still no lights...so now what? Rip all the Headlight wires out and put in new wires. in the Dash?? We forgot to Grap the Fluk out of my Friends Lumina before starting this so We will have to wait to test for an Ohm Drop or gain...and to test the voltage... Oh and to top it off My Tool box got riped off Sunday night....Grrrrr...it was in my car and I forgot to Lock it...nothing else is gone just my 150piece Socket Set.... so now I have to Wait untill payday to get more tools......I use Stanleys because they hold up well and I do not have to fork out $1300 for the set....insted under $100 so its no big deal but still somepeople I never get Shit riped off.... SO if you have a Headlight issue Check the Wirew BEFORE ripping apart your car to get at them... Just go on the Pass floor with a torx driver and seporate the Junction box {its the small clump with about 10-20 wires..not the one with like 100} and Run a Test lead to the Wire for the Headlight FIRST.......and see if your headlights work... if they do its before that point......

Guest Anonymous Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Have you ever checked the Forward Lamp Relay Center to make sure the fuse isn't burned out or a relay is bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeorge Posted May 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 yep, the Guy I bought the car From Replaced all the Relays too thinking that was it...it Spent 2 weeks and $600 in a Garage only to have the Lights work for about a month....then I bought it...I noticed that some of the Ground wires where a little melted....so I bought this harness thinking it was what was wrong...

Guest fatguy Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Jeorge, I'm telling you, jump the tan (brown maybe) wire at the DIC module (behind/above glovebox) from one side to the other. I had this same problem with my STE and this fixed it. The DIC doesn't know when I have a headlight out, but oh well. Please drop me an email with your phone number if you need help. I too have pulled my hair out with this one. Corey cmccarthy@rushmore.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeorge Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Oh and while I had my Dash apart...I made the intercooled turbo light up..I put a Red Light out of a bonni in it and it matches my other lights perfect...I also replaced my burnt light at the top of the speedo....I also noticed the check guages light was missing so I did not put that in.... I also put a STE turbo Badge right below my Trunk lock I think it looks cool....I wish I would have kept the Plain STE badge for that though....

no1kicker Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Looks like I'm going to be trying to jump some wires near the DIC in the next few days. Jeorge, got any pics of your new trunk look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeorge Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 No I need to get a New Camara....., to get to the wires... take the Glove box out... then you will see a black box that looks like a amp being it has a heat sink on it... its the two side wires for the head lights. Low beam Jump the Tan to yellow/black right across from each other. for the high beam its the Green to green across from each other... Now all I need is A HUD for my next mod....any one have one ?? for sale that is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Thanks Jeorge...I will try that this weekend. I have an extra HUD, tan, that I don't need anymore. I can get you pics if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeorge Posted June 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hell Yeah....I really want HUD and I would just paint it to match my Trim anyways to tan is okay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I just fixed my headlights! Jumped the tan wire to the yellow/black one. That module that I bypassed, is that the thing for the DIC that only the STE has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fatguy Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 That is correct. I'm wondering though, does the info for the low fuel, and economy go through that module as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1kicker Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I would think that only the stuff the other DIC doesn't have goes through there. Like lights, hood, trunk, and door open,...Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
