low beams out 850

posted by  someone claiming to be naftals on  Tue Jan 24 23:45 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hi,

two identical 1995 850 2.0 10V

Problem is as following. Both low beams are out on my 850. Both were fine, I always keep them on (law), but switched them off while I was idling and heating up the car to get some juice back in the battery. It was around -25C that morning. When I switched them back on nothing happened. Parking lights are ok, high beams are ok. Fuses are ok, and the swithch itself is ok also (swapped it with another). Is there a relay or a central switch somewere?

Thanks

    I had a ground wire fail and had to run a new one.

    Could just be bulb, if one blows sometimes takes the other with it.

    Good luck.

      I would check the bulbs first. It is unusual to have both of them take a dump like that at the same time but I have seen it before.

        Yes, it was both bulbs at the same time.
        Thank you.
