Headlights,Heater Blower Motor, and Wipers just Went out

Post by osteopath »

So I have the running lights, but the headlights, Heater Blower motor, and the wipers just stopped working. Anyone have any ideas? Is there a common ground or something?

I think the only thing common to all the circuits is the ignition switch connector and the ignition switch it self.
Fuses 3,4,5,6 are for the headlights each side and each beam has its own fuse. The heater and the wipers are fed power from fuse 2. Is it possible some thing became inoperative and you hadn't used it to notice. Then you checked and found 3 circuits had a problem?

Ok, I have it fixed now. I had installed one of those ignition switch/relay bypass kits from AutoRicambi and one of the relays had gone bad. I switched one of them out and now everything is working again.
