slngsht Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 well, so far this year, I've managed to put almost 2K trouble free miles on the car, with Arya's help. He borrowed the car for a trip to VA beach this weekend. Called me about an hour ago - no head lights or running lights. I have the high beams wired separately, so between those and flashers, he made it to his destination. We'll be debugging it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Steve Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well it must be head light week. After my ride home in the rain and flooding a month or so ago,my light on the left side stopped working. I looked the fuses, OK, pulled the nose off to get to the connecter from the harness to the light and it was all crapped up with green rust. Cleaned it up and back in the saddle. Hopefully it is something easy on Frankin7. Arya's a smart guy, he 's working it out as we speak. Good luck with the fix and enjoy the beach.

slngsht Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 yes, i suspect the connection at the back of the dash switch has come loose. should be trivial after we fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Funny enough, on our Rocky Mountains tour the headlights did not work anymore, either. 30 amp fuse blown....I bypassed the high beam toggle relay and put in a new fuse, let's see how it goes for the rest of the tour. Maybe related or not, the battery charge voltage is at times really high, some 15 to 16 Volts. Not sure if that will cook my Odyssey battery.... Well, off to Cody tomorrow and meet with Al and Skip.

Kitcat Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hmmm. Both the high and low beams in my car's right headlight burned out last week too-jeez, its like some kind of swine flu thing for Se7ens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yell if you are in real trouble. I am local (Newport News). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Dean, thank you for the offer. Oddly enough, the short is INSIDE the driver side headlight assemply. That's crazy. He's good for the return trip. I guess I'll disassemble it when he gets back and see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slngsht Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 well, the short was INSIDE the headlamp assembly. Kind of disappointing for PIAA assemblies. took it apart and found the offending wire. All fixed up and back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
