97 Mustang GT Headlight Problem

Feb 29, 2004 3 Replies

I currently own a 97 Mustang GT, and i'm having problems with my headlights. The problem started out a few weeks ago, when I would try to turn on my lights, they woudn't come on on demand, they would if i waited like a min or 2 with the switch on, then a week or 2 later I had to wait like 10 min. They also started dimming on me when I was driving on the road, ever since then they wont come back on. So I replaced the headlight switch and that didn't sole the problem, my parking lights still work and so do my brights but not my regular head lights. I think its gotta be a loose connection somewhere but not too sure. If anyone has an idea of what might be wrong please mail me at snipped-for-privacy@aol.com



thanks Kevin


Have you checked the ground wire coming from the wiring harness that bolts to the top frame rail (where the hood rest at)?

Having problems with headlights, won't come on most of the time,I replaced switch did not solve the problem,anyone have any suggestions?

It might be in your switch on the column. Hi/Low beams. You may check for a broken wire or bad connection at the point where it flexes when the steering wheel tilts. On the 98 there was a TSB that addressed a similar issue, you may want to look into it. It's not hard to take it apart to look at it. Or a fuse maybe? When you get it fixed, post your results ok
