Anyone have any ideas why the headlights randomly go out on a 1990 Dodge Shadow C/S?
Anyone have any ideas why the headlights randomly go out on a 1990 Dodge Shadow C/S?
cheap filament in the bulb??
Brand new headlight housings,bulbs,headlight switch,dimmer switch,and checked and cleaned headlight ground. I have not checked all of the wiring. It would be nice to have a very good wiring diagram for the headlights!
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks!
Can you be a little more specific with your problem. I have been fighting a headlight problem on my 85 GLH.
Mine is only a problem if I try to use the fog lights, after about 20mins all the exterior lights go out and sometimes the dash. it will then come back on in about 10 secs then go back off. This will continue until I shut off the car for a while. Also if I dont turn the fog lights on it does not happen.
The last time it happened I was able to play around with the headlight switch and was pretty confident it was the cause of the problem. I plan on buying a new headlight switch and maybe running a relay for the headlights to help prevent this problem.
Let me know what you find.
does the 90 shadow have the headlight delay setup when you turn them off??
Was the plug melted for the headlight switch? Could still be a bad connection there.

Headlight relays are never a bad idea on these cars. Most of the cars from our era have issues with the headlight switches overheating, or just failing from fatigue. Relays take the load off of the switch and give the headlights much cleaner voltage.
+2 I use to go thru headlight switches all the time until I changed to running relays All old mopars use thin wire for everything.Take a walk in the Pick and pull and look at all the newer cars they have relays and heavy gauge wire on every circuit and grounds everywhere .
What is that circuit breaker on the headlight switch diagram?
