i just installed a ss dash in my elky. used the proper dash harness and installed a new engine harness everything works great except the headlights? could this be the switch

Be sure to check all your grounds and the grounds on your core support, happend to me 1 bad ground and nothing works right...:noway:

Sweet car! Do you mean where the switch grounds? cuz doesnt seem to have any other groung wires

Park and taillights work???

Make sure your headlights have a good ground!!!!

Check the middle wire (blue?) on the floor dimmer for 12v with the headlights 'ON'.

If you have 12v there----the dimmer may be bad-----check for 12v on each of the outside positions on the connector (green is Hi---tan is low)
(do not totally unplug the connector----you must be able to get voltage from the power wire).

No 12 volts at the blue wire-----possible headlight switch
yes 12 volts at the blue wire----probable bad dimmer switch

12 volts getting to the green or tan wire-----something wrong after the dimmer ---- bulkhead issue???

Yes check the ground at the switch and the ground at the core cupport their should be 3 or 4 of them on the core support.
2 grounds for your lights on the core support and 1 ground for battery and 1 ground for your forward wireing harness.
I went through the same thing when I put my car back together and it was a few grounds that had too much paint under the small ground clips had to use a dremel and clean the paint off the metal to get a good ground and then my lights worked but were very dim so I did it again and found more grounds that needed to be cleaned and that worked like a charm.

thanks its the dimmer! i took it off to work on the floor and it has to be connected to complete the circut doesnt it?

Welcome to the site.:thumbsup:

That's funny, I did the same thing, but figured out out by chance. Just continued on and screwed the dimmer down, and it worked.
