I am actually having this problem.. here is mine... see if it relates to you.

My headlights (on regular, low beam) do not work. I cannot get them to come on in the high beam either. But, if I pull the blinker arm forward for the passing flash thing, they light up on high-beams (only for as long as I hold the lights on).

I have found the problem to be a thing called "Multifunction Switch". My car is a 1997 Ford Taurus G....

See if that helps you any. It was my underlying issue and mine is getting fixed tonight. :) Good luck

Check the fuse for the headlights. It is probably open.


My car won't start and there's no clicking noise?

A couple of things to troubleshoot here first: 1. Do the car's lights work? Not the interior light, the headlights. If the headlights don't work or they go completely dim when you turn the key, your battery is dead.


How can you tell the positive or negative highbeam from the positive or negative lowbeam?

Turn your headlight switch to the "on" position. disconnect the power wires from the bulbs and use a volt meter to find which ones have voltage. if your highbeams are off, then the wires with voltage are your normal driving lights. the ones without power are your highbeams. also. positive and negative don't really matter with lights. just so long as there is current running through the fillament. there is usually only one way the plug will fit the lights anyways.

Check your fuses! If they're all good I would next check the wireing on your stereo. I had a loose wire once back there and it made my instrument cluster's lights not work when I had the headlights on and I had to guess my speeds at night.
