Had some recent problems with the B following being out in a real heavy rain storm (even though top was up I was still out in it, if you know what I mean). Problem was with the lights. Had turn signals that weren't working. Also had a blown 30 amp fuse in box.
To make a long story short, got the flasher and turn signal problems taken care of puting in new flashers and making sure wiring was okay. But I have a real problem with the headlights now, that I did not have previously.
I have upgraded lights (h4s) that are connected by relays so as not to put all the strain on the switch. I replaced the relays but I've got a real strange one taking place now.
Power into the relays (brown wire - 10 gauge) is 14v measured both prior to the fuses in line and also at terminal #30. Ground is wired to terminal #85. Low Beam (blue/red) is terminal #86 as is the high beam (blue) on its own separate relay. Power to the lights then is transmitted through terminal #87. This all checks out with 14 volts to both #86 and #87 when the appropriate dimmer position is switched. But here's the kicker. Lights still do not work. And here's the real strange thing: voltage at the light socket into which the light would be inserted is only reading 8.5 to 9 volts. Wire from relays to headlights is 14 gauge. Any ideas why/
