BobLoblaw Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) I, like many Pathy owners have a 'winking' Pathy. My passenger side (right) daytime light doesn't work. Yes, I have replaced the blub. I assume from my research that is probably the DLM but I haven't check it yet. It's not really as important as my next problems.... Recently, when I switch my low-beams on, the drivers side (left) sometimes will not come on right away or won't come on until I switch the lights on and off. It's really annoying. The latest thing I noticed (my stereo was 'on', but muted), is when I have my low-beams on and I switch to high beams, the driver's side light will not come on initially. For about 3-5 seconds, I can hear a wurring sound from behind my stereo deck, then the light fades on (and the wurring stops). I though this was weird but I hoped that someone hear could tell me how to fix this and what was making the wurring sound. Thanks Edited March 21, 2009 by BobLoblaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavefromOZ Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Not sure about the stereo problem, but the headlight problem will be contacts in the stalk switch, you can pull it apart, clean the contacts and bend them slightlt to ensure you get a good connection, I have done this a couple of times with mine and it works everytime. I am sure there will be something in the how-to about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be something in the how-to about this. Maybe I worded it wrong. The noise when I turn my high beams on seems to be coming from BEHIND my stereo - I don't think the stereo has anything to do with it. Actually I just went outside and check it again. This time the humming/wurring noise stayed on and the light never fully came on - just dimly at times. The noise gets quieter when the light starts getting brighter, then gets louder when it gets dim and eventually goes out. Its like the light isn't getting enough power.

Pezzy Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 probably the DLM That gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Pull the stereo and check for connection problems with the dimmer wire? That shouldn't affect the headlights but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobLoblaw Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 That gets my vote. So what do I do with the DLM once I find it? This problem is really lame. My left headlight when I have my highbeams on just flickers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would guess your switch contacts also, it might be just the uneven draw of the single light making some electrical hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the uneven draw is caused by the light switch, or the DLM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
