  1. Just a quick reply in a rush, going to get back at this tomorrow, see what i can find and post back. Thanks for all the replies btw
  2. I found something today but i'll get to that. Yes the headlights stay on when they are in the "off" position. ONLY the headlights are on, not the markers. When the car is off and the headlights are on, switching to the brights puts them on low-beam. when the car is turned on, the positions are correct, except the headlights don't turn off. (low beam is on when the car is running and in off position. I found something rather strange, although i'm told there is no relay, there is a Bosch relay that clicks when i connect the negative battery terminal. I don't recall ever hearing a clicking like that when working on other cars, but maybe i just wasn't paying attention. It's almost like a POP. So maybe that has something to do with it ? I don't know how to read electrical schematics but i need to find the PDF of my Pathy repair manual. Amazon link http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-332019150-Relay/dp/B0010ADJIE
  3. Thanks for the suggestion, yes i did. I ended up sanding the contacts inside the blinker switch and both headlights are working now. Now i need to figure out why the heck the headlights stay on when it's off
  4. Hello all .. this is my first post in the forums, usually just lurking Have a few questions... - Headlights stay on when truck is OFF - Headlight switch ... Driver-side headlight is out ( brights and normal ) ( and yes i searched the forums, found similar topics but didn't explain details i need) My 1995 pathfinder now has Two issues 1. My headlights will stay on when the car is off, so it's become really annoying lately. I have to pop the hood and disconnect the negative cable when i park. 2. I disconnected the headlight switch from the column to look at the pins. I had seen in a few discussions that sometimes the pins need to be cleaned. I put it back in without cleaning it to inspect it and now my driver side headlight is out. How does one even clean the pins, since the pin would need to be bent up. I slightly bent up one to inspect and i think it's NOT making contact so the driver side is out. Here's the thing, are all 5 pins suppose to make contact and when the lever is positioned it disengages contact or is it the other way around. I really just want to get the driver-side headlight working again, which pin would it be ? I can't see how they could be cleaned without bending them up without being able to bend them back down. Since trying to bend them back into position wouldn't work without taking the whole dam thing apart since there's no room to bend down. It could be a coincidence and the bulb blew on the driver-side but the timing of me taking out the switch doesn't make sense, but possible. Didn't feel like taking the intake parts off to get to the headlight just yet if i don't have to. Doesn't help that it's cold as hell out and also night time >_O Also since i read that this is a "hot" system, there is no "headlight relay". So i'm thinking that there is a wire somewhere that is grounding or something idk... These are the pins.. i need to know if they always contact or make contact when switched so i can try to fix this. Not my picture.. just one i found Any suggestions would be much appreciated....
