Dual headlight issue, cutting out.
I’ve got a 1961 step with a headlight issue. I added dual headlights and it now I’ve had some issues, can you please help me.
I added dual Headlights, now only high beams work, and only momentarily. It seems the headlight controller switch on dash heats up and trips. I can hear it trip, headlights go out and eventually come back on. Currently low beams don’t work, but have confirmed all lights are working. I have replaced dash switch and foot switch, with new units. Still having issues. Using original wiring and fuse box. Is there something obvious I am missing, like a ground? Where are the standard body grounding locations for 1961? Should I rewire the entire thing? Thank you for your time and help :) |

I don't understand this statement. "Currently low beams don’t work, but have confirmed all lights are working." Low beams not working indicates a wiring error in the system.. Simply throwing parts (guessing) at the issue is not a proper approach.. Locate and correct the low beam problem and your problem may be solved. I suggest you start with a wiring diagram for what you're working on and a digital voltmeter.. |

I found GM to be quite skimpy on their wiring diameters and therefore I put in relays so all the current didn't have to go through the headlight switch. As for your problem maybe a second pair of eyes will help you figure it out or post a wiring diagram like has been suggested.

just a thought ... How are your connectors at the fire wall and radiator support? Also a relay upgrade (found in the FAQ section and easy to do) will take a load off of the headlight circuit, Hopes this helps
