I would first start looking at the ground connections aroung the headlight area. Follow the wiring harness from the headlights and eventually you will find where one of them is suppossed to be connected to the car body somewhere. It is impossible to tell you for sure where it is. It simple could have come loose or corroded. If all the grounds are connected then the computer module that controls the lights could have a problem. Also check that the wiring harness connections are actually connected all the way. Hope this helps. Good luck.

1995 Buick Roadmaster won't start again after sitting Mechanic says no fuel getting pumped but this is an intermittent problem doesn't happen every time Any ideas on sensor issues?
You need to most likely replace your fuel pump wiring harness. It is located in the gas tank connected to the fuel pump. While your there you should also replace the pump and sock. Note the configuration of the old wiring harness when you pull it out because the new one you get is a generic one made to fit different cars. You WILL have to rewire the new harness to make it work.

Why would your 2003 KIA Rio keep blowing fuses for the windshield wipers?
Fuses are deigned to blow to protect other more valued and sensitive equipment. They surrender their life for the sake of your car's wiring or device on the power line they protect. If a fuse blows, be glad for the warning the fuse gives you of a problem in either the device it protects or the wiring harness along the way to the device(s) the harness serves. To best self-diagnose the problem the blown fuse reports, try this routine. First, turn off all lights and other electrical devices that fuse serves (see your owner's manual or the inside cover of your fuse panel). Secondly, with the ignition off, replace the fuse with one of like size (15 Amp for a 15 Amp, 20 for a 20, etc., NEVER use anything but the correct sized fuse). Next, ensuring that all electrical devices on that fuse line are Off, including the Wipers, turn the ignition key to the accessory position for a count of 20 seconds. Now turn the key back to Off, and take the new fuse out of its socket and examine it. Did it blow? If so, the problem is a short in the wiring harness between the fuse and the deices on that power line. If it did not blow, put it back into position for the second test. Again, ensuring all devices served by the fuse in question are turned off first, turn the ignition key to the accessory position. Next turn on a device served on that line and count to 20 seconds. Now once again check the fuse to see if it has blown. In turn, check all devices on the fuse serve list. If there is a problem device the fuse will blow. In this fashion you may find that your wipers are not at fault but rather it is some other device on the wiring harness. Self diagnoses tests may save you a bit of money or not as electrical problems can be tricky to resolve. This test will give you a bit of information such that you can advise a Qualified mechanic of the conditions you have discovered. He/She will be impressed with your skills of diagnoses; will be less inclined to take advantage of you and your wallet. Don't make the mistake of telling you mechanic to replace this or that, but instead ask them to run some tests and to call you with an estimate before proceeding with repairs.
