SpecialWarr Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'll preface this post with a warning that I'm not very good with electrical stuff so if you could be kind that would be appreciated! The beast is the V6wagon and right now I'm missing the high beam on the left side of the truck only. I found one wire that was exposed and checked that there was power with the lights on (0v), off (0v) and on high (0v). The wire is red with a blue stripe. I'm looking at EL-40 in the FSM and found the Daytime Lights Control Unit on the truck but all of the wires are green with corrosion and most are not attached. My question is how do I track down the open wire OR how can I bypass the DLCU to get nightime driving safety back?? sent from under Ernest the Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) Did you check the fuses on the left side of the engine bay? ( when you are facing it) Edited April 5, 2014 by SkiBumBrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 There's a separate fuse for the high beam on each side?? Umm, nope, didn't check those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 IIRC. I just remember having one headlight out, chasing voltage (or lack of) and finding the fuses in the engine bay fuse bank.... Felt kinda stupid but relieved it was fixed.... Just a good thing to check just in case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Okay, I'll get on that and see what I can come up with! Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't know about the DRL modules but it's common for the actual switch (the one on the column) to make one headlight or the other not work. One of my high beams quit once, and cleaning the switch contacts fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
