Gday Guys,
i was trouble shooting a wiring problem on my mates 84 4runner. Basically the drivers side Headlight had 3 relays to power it sufficiently.
I took out the relays back to the original loom and the wires are behaving correctly when the lights are on/off but are not giving the headlight nearly enough power than what it should be...
It is just really dim. Im guessing the is a break somewhere further back that is drawing current.
can anyone shed some light on this? (sorry bout the pun)
cheers

Re: 84 4Runner HEADLIGHT ISSUE
So your saying that it had 3 relays to power both headlights?
Therefore 3 power supplys ot each relay?
They have a sealed beam headlight?
Sure its not a 24v headlight?
Sounds silly but it could be the problem.
Ive got the wiring diagram of the electrics in my repair manual if it comes to that.

Re: 84 4Runner HEADLIGHT ISSUE
Thanks mate,
have solved the problem.
There once was a problem with the original loom/harness for the head lights and the drivers side light was getting between 2-3v to it...
it had since been to an auto electrician and had the relays put in. One was for driving light, one for highbeam and another for an old set of spotties...
anyway, i sourced a design wiring harness and stripped the headlight harness out of it and transplanted it in. problem solved... not sure what the issue was exactly but works fine now.
cheers
