Default 94 TA Headlights Wont Turn On?

My lights go up and down but the headlights won't turn on. Also the high beam light is lit up in my cluster but can't turn it off unless putting the lights down. Checked my fuse in the engine bay and all is fine. What else could it be?

Sounds like a wiring problem. Will your high beams come on?

The high beams won't turn on. I pull the lever and nothing happens but the high beam light stays on in my gauge cluster. What relays and fuses are there to check? I've only checked the 15amp fuses in the engine compartment.

Sounds less like a fuse problem and more like a switch/wiring problem. I'd check the connections on your headlight switch. Also, check the steering column switch.

Do your hazards and turns work? Also, how about brake, back up, and tail lights?

Still sounds like a switch problem. I would suggest pulling your headlight switch and cleaning the contacts. Also, check the bulbs and sockets.

Figured out the problem. It was 2 bad headlight bulbs. Everything is working as it should once i replaced the old ones with new. This car was sitting for 3 years and tried using the old stuff before buying new.
