84 hedlights now with pics of relays Reply #22 – June 17, 2007, 12:26:56 PM wow,, so,,after looking i have questions,,,,,lol,, you got a lot of questions to answer,,,:hick: do you have............a light sensor on the rear view mirror? (this would be the high/low beam sensor)have you found the dash mounted light sensor as well?can you make the headlamps work by either givng power or giving them a ground?if the car were here, we'd done figured it out.

84 hedlights now with pics of relays Reply #23 – June 17, 2007, 01:41:01 PM Nope I don't have the sensor on the rearview mirror. Mine is the old style. with the pull for the main headlights and then a rotating for the auto on/off part of the lights. I seen the little holes in the dash for the sensor but I haven't dug that far up under the dash to get to it. Hopefully I can get this snading done on th ecougar and get out to the bird this afternoon. Quote Selected
84 hedlights now with pics of relays Reply #24 – June 17, 2007, 04:19:39 PM Jcassidy's EVTSM page 81 shows two relays. One for the headlights and one for the parking lights.Your car has one relay with two sets of contacts. One set of contacts for the headlights and one set for the parking lights.I suspect you have the wrong relay installed. It probably only has one set of contacts.jcassidy's EVSTM page 82 shows the light amplifier assembly. this looks the same as the '84.Your car does not have the auto dim feature. This was only available in Lincolns for '84.To get to the light amplifier assembly, the shop manual says:Remove the intrument panel pad and upper finish panel.In other words, take the top off your dash.

The 83 84 system is different than the auto lamp feature on the later cars.there is an easy question in the EVTM lotto / lounge if you want a copy. correct,, There is so much in here that is interchangeable with many year cars/trucks ect but its built around the ,,oh,,, 85-88 id say. i mentioned earlier that i knew his 84 was a little different thats why i had so many quesitons. I remember both of my 84 coug's were set up wayyy different than the 85+. I do know that while in the junk yard, i saw the photo sensor mounted just infront of the driver on the dash assembly for the 84 setup.this device was relocated to the square cover / knockout on the top center of the 85 and up dash systems. the auto headlamp system would be controlled by the dash mounted sensor while the auto dim setup would be mounted on the rear view mirror. further,, and on a side note,, did anyone catch page 87 closely??????????????? notice that control or warning panel in the overhead??????????? just above the rear view mirror???????ive never seen that on a fox yet,, anyone here seen it?

84 hedlights now with pics of relays Reply #29 – June 19, 2007, 01:11:49 AM another thing,, totally unrelated to the problem im sure but,,,,,,,make sure your sensor lense is clean and free of debris,, it might think its night time due to dirt /dust / armorall / soft drink / spray cleaner / ect ect has nothing to do with why the headlamps dont come on. im like softtouch, betcha your plugging in the wrong relay type.if you can take a pic of the bottom contact side of that relay,, i can tell you how to apply power,, and use a meter to read continuity across contacts energized both static and with power.sometimes its nice to have an old power supply from a PC laying around just for shop stuff that require decent amperage and 12v / 5v applications.
