To make it short.. I turn my headlight switch to the parking light position. All lights are on except headlights. I turn it to the on position and my headlights turn on but every other light goes out (Dash, tails, corner lights).

Anyone know what it could be? I'm figuring it's a short somewhere... I just dont know where it could be.

Right now I get it to click in between on and the parking light notch and everything turns on... but I'd like to fix it. Also, my blinkers blink incredibly fast. I've checked all my bulbs and they are fine. Fuses are fine too.

 

Bump.. anyone?

 

My guess would be the switch, only a guess though. Any other advise for this guy?

 

This is the first time i have heard of this particular malfunction. Did it all of a sudden start doing this, or has it done this since you have had the car? Is there any aftermarket wiring going on under the dash(e.g. aftermarket car alarm)?

 

It has done it ever since I got the car. I have a motor swap and I have an alarm installed. Those things have been done since I've owned the car though. Also there's this chip I have to plug in under the dash to start the car. That's been there since I got the car too.

 

Sounds like somewhere along the line, somebody fudged up your under dash wiring. I would start by removing everything aftermarket under there, and possibly re-installing it. Or take it to a professional to see if they can recognize any fubar wiring?

 

NO WAY MAN my **** is doing the exact same thing it just started yesterday i have to check it out tomorrow but i figure that it is a relay, so i would say check all of your relays and if you do find out please let me know what it is cuz i dont want to take my **** apart

Fast flashing blinkers indicate a dead bulb or relay. Have someone hit the brakes for you and verify all your lights are working properly. And check function of all exterior bulbs. If everything appears fine, you might want to take a look at the relays.

 

bump for any more ideas before both he and i tear our **** apart

 

Stupid q but where are the relays?

 

could be under the dash or under the hood just depends on what kind of car, i heard it could also be the headlight switch

 

I had this problem too, it was the relay. I took it apart and resoldered it, it's worked like gooooold ever since.
