Headlamps not closing

Post by Spikes SX »

Hi Guys,

I have a problem , my S13's headlamps are not going down(closing).

I checked my fuses in the fuse boxs and checked all the relays , none seem to be faulty.

Are there any thing that i might have missed or can look into???

The headlamps work , just not closing

Cheers
Regards

Hi guys,

I had the same problem, previous owner told me they just stopped closing one day. When stripped the indicator switch and saw there was a small brown plug that was not plugged in and there was no spare plug for it. Turns out the switch they had used was actually from a Sentra. I put a new switch and plugged the ill brown plug into it and it's all working now. My back lights and interior and cluster lights wre not working as well all because of this switch.
