1992 New Yorker- no head lights?

[Eliteman76]

Guys-
A buddy of mine is having an issue. His 1992 New Yorker 5th ave lost the head lights, hi high beams only work if you pull the high beam switch on the turn signal switch.
No blown fuses.
I lost the service book I had for mopars for his car, so I can't think if it's a circuit breaker, a relay or?

Any ideas, appreciate it.

Thanks
Andrew

Re: 1992 New Yorker- no head lights?

this have the hidden light?
and you have high beams if you hold the highbeam switch
mopar might be a fuselink if relay or breaker you'd not get anything
if breaker in fuse panel replace with fuse to test for short, fuse pop =short..
iirc your looking for a fuseable link..
if hidden lights, he sure the covers are opening

Don't drive after sundown. (In other words, I have no clue).

check the relay bank for a bad relay

i will try to scan in the wiring diagram and relay bank from my 92 factory manual.

i recently had to deal with this on the lebaron

Thanks guys- To answer:

hidden light? yes, it does
and you have high beams if you hold the highbeam switch: Yes, high beams only, only when holding the switch.
mopar might be a fuselink if relay or breaker you'd not get anything
if breaker in fuse panel replace with fuse to test for short, fuse pop =short.: No blown fuses.
iirc your looking for a fuseable link..
if hidden lights, he sure the covers are opening: Covers will open up, but no lights.


I am leaning towards a blown relay, but the doors open when you turn the head lights on.
For some reason I was thinking maybe it's the head light switch itself, but I will look at the links.
Any suggestions on location? I've done a few things on this car over the years, but 90's mopars are electrical A-holes!
;D
Did I mention his OEM radio randomly turns on and off, the power antenna randomly works, etc, etc.

Sounds like a bad switch to me.

clean the ground for lights..
have you with lights on.. probed the light plug to see if it's getting power..
I'll bet it is, but no ground..
motors for light covers, have it's own ground as they reverse polatity for up and down

Sounds like a bad switch to me.

more likely it's a relay if the doors open the switch is fine

FWD mopars with hidden lights use 3 relays, low beam relay, Hi beam relay, and door motor relay

relay bank is located under the dash on the driver side kick panle



my scanner died and can not scan in the wiring diagram :-\ not even sure if that's thr right relay bank as i can not find the door relay

well three relays..
1 door and 2 lights.. chance of both going unlikely..
it might be the switch..
worded on enough new ones to know to go after ground first

Still no luck. Messed with it for a bit, but odd thing?
When we had the last warm spell...lights worked again.
Cold snapped back in, back to not working??

Damn Mopar FWD. What I would give if this was a 70's/ 80's pickup.
