Need Help. Have a 90 240 and the high beam headlights don't work, reverse lights don't work either. Have changed all bulbs, checked all fuses, and tried to follow wires as far as i could to see if a connecter was undone. but found nothing. I'm out of ideas and could use any help you guys could give me.

does the blue light come on in the dash, if not its prolly the switch on the blinker thing, if it does come on, bulbs i guess....back up lights could be the sensor, the one on my bimmer had come disconnected, i found when replacing the oil pan after trying to drift and hydroplaning into a curb, oh well,

Check the reverse light sensor, it's on the transmission, it'll be plain to see if it's out. High beams could be a number of things, check inside the steering column to make sure it's clocking over and the connection is being made, then get a multi-meter and start check terminals at the stalk, fuse point, bulb itself, etc. That will help you isolate the problem.
