 Subject: short in headlights
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a short in the headlight wiring harness on my 94 v8 dak. but its not really a short because the wires in the harness are all fine. i guess the metal parts on the bulb are not touching the ones in the harness and my headlights will either go halfway on, like a flashlight with bad batteries or they will completely go off. but then if i wiggle the wires around or hit the front of the light, they will come back on. i really dont want to buy a new harness from the dealer at $40 a piece. has this happened to anyone else? is there another way to fix it? TIA

Not enough description for me but if you headlights are inop and your parking lights are. You could have a problem with one of the female connectors on the plug that connects to the headlamp switch. I had this problem and didn't realize it untill a new switch would not fix the problem anymore. I had to get real small screw driver and bent the connector for a more secure connection. Eventually it melted a wire but it was easily repaired.
Good luck
