Headlights And Steering Column Switch/relay

[Shadowlex]

Hello Everyone:

I lost my headlights suddenly on my 1995 sc 400. My left turn indicator made some electric buzzing sound when I pressed down to set in the left turn signal. Is there any connection between the column switch and the headlights.

I have not checked the bulbs yet.

thanks!

Welcome to the club. I doubt you would have blown both headlight bulbs at the same time. Have the headlight relay tested. If that checks out, then check the switch.

I got ahead of myself; I check the blade and cartridge fuses; they seem to be okay. Where do I find the relays? How can I tell if the relay is blown?

thanks again.

Not sure if they've moved the relays in the 95, but on my 91 they're in the engine compartment in a black JB just behind the coolant expansion tank. On the underside of the cover should be a diag labelling all the relays similar to what I've attached:

You'll need a multi meter to test the continuity between the pins. I don't have a diag of the pins or the readings you should get. Service dept at your dealer should be able to test it for you or at the least give you a diag and the specs.
