Did you unplug battery before removing/installing harness? It could have blown fuses if you didnt.

no high beams. at the fuel pump relay I tested power on my light with ignition on. im pretty new at this. so im not sure what im doing

Balto82 09-30-2014 05:24 AM

yes I always unplug the battery. checked all fuses with a fuse checker also.

Balto82 09-30-2014 05:27 AM

I wonder if theres some kind of warranty on these harness that I bought. was around a thousand for both

Connect the negative side of your multimeter to the negative post under the hood, its located on the strut tower, and says negative(-) in green i believe. Then remove the fuel pump relay, and test each of the four terminals with the positive side of your meter. Remember that it should only read voltage when key is in the on position. I cant tell you the actual voltage it should read, but if you see voltage thats a start. Im guessing two should be positive and two should be ground, but dont quote me on that. So if the meter reads 0vdc its probably a ground (if key is on).

Balto82 09-30-2014 05:36 AM

that's how I tested it according to a online how to. I believe when I checked was around 12 volts? ill check again. I notice that on some relays get power on 2 and others 1?

x8xViperx6x 09-30-2014 05:39 AM

I believe there is also a fuel pump fuse, not sure the number but check that too. Also verify that you did not put the fuse/relay in the wrong spot, it is very possible to plug it in one pin off.

Balto82 09-30-2014 05:43 AM

yeah im only getting power to one post for fuel pump relay if that matters. relay for headlight? I only see fuses for headlight

x8xViperx6x 09-30-2014 05:46 AM

check voltage on the fuses too.

x8xViperx6x 09-30-2014 05:49 AM

the fuel pump has a fuse too, its a 15a fuse directly under the relay.

then check all four headlight fuses for power too. If they all have power, then it has to be something between the fuse/relay box to the light/pump itself.

Balto82 09-30-2014 06:27 AM

no power on the fuel pump fuse but fuse is good. also no power on hi beam or low beam where the fuses go. but for parking lamp I do get power.

Balto82 09-30-2014 06:46 AM

11.15 volts and one pin for relay

Balto82 09-30-2014 07:00 AM

wonder if it would help to use dielectric grease

Balto82 10-02-2014 07:19 AM

Def is the connectors that plug into under the fuse box. Today i cleaned with connector cleaner and used dielectric greese and the car is running. I am still have a problem with one high beam. So i think connectors just dont want to sit right. Ill probly still take it in but atleast not on a tow truck. Hope i dont hit a pot hole or something. Well damn atleast i know whats up

Spanky's Monkey 10-02-2014 10:27 AM

check that highbeam fuse.

blueLNFftw 10-02-2014 10:57 AM

Are you sure the fuse box is sat in correctly?

I have had this problem and one of the fuse box plugs was in, but it was off one connector on a whole side. Reset the fuse box on the connectors and it worked.

Balto82 10-02-2014 06:44 PM

It must be in there pretty good now. But i was just checking the high beams and get this when you pull the high beam switch back both high beams work. But when i turn on headlight only one high beam comes on. Both fuses get power now. I dont think that headlight harness connector is sitting right.
