92 S13 high beam problem! (searched)

[mchkc240]

Hey I have a 92 S13. And for some reasons my high beams dont work. Normal lights work. But when I switched to high beam then the lights will go off. But the flip light still stay on. I cant see the high beam light on the dash either. And my back up lights dont work either. So if I wanna get it fixed where shoudl I check? What should I do? Thanks alot!

its your headlight switch/ turn signals. go buy a new one, or go to the junkyard. if you don't believe me, find a buddy with a good working headlight switch and try his out to see if it works.

Yea I kno. But if I wanna replace it I gotta take the whole thing out tho. Right?

nope. the switch alone is just plug n play. you have to take out the plastic steering column cover to see.

So is there any possible reasons? I am gonna try it out! Thanks a lot!

theres other possibilities, but i'm 99% sure that its the switch. other reasons could be the bulbs, or your headlight wiring could be corroding or not fully engaged, or maybe fuses(i doubt it though)?

Also the light in my car doesnt work either. fuse is fine, the light itself is fine.. Also! My back up lights dont turn on either. It's a 5 speed btw.

sheesh... lol... anything else? LOLumm... for the reverse lights, check the fuse, then bulb. after that, if all ok, then follow the wires, and check if the reverse sensor is in tact. the reverse sensor is on the side of the transmission towards the rear of the bellhousing. the reverse sensor has 2 wires that should connect up to a plug on your lower harness.as for your interior lights, ummm... iono.. i guess the same as above mentioned, but take away the part where it connects to transmission.

LOL! No that's it. High beam. the light inside and back up. LOL! Not that bad? I guess. LOL! Thanks for all your help! Oh btw do you kno how to remove olda** tint? I used heat gun. but after I removed 1 level of tint there's another level down there. And it's hard to remove. Not glue btw. I am supposed to use a steam cleaner do you think spray water while I am using heat gun is gonna work?

LOL, I don't know sh*t about tint, although I kinda wish my car had tints sometimes (especially when I want some alone time with the gf ). though I heard windex takes off tint.

LOL! Dont get the car dirty tho Yea that thing can remove the glue. But that's like another level of tint but not glue. Thanks anyway! Remember dont get your car dirty! LOL
