Hi there! I hope some one has had this happen to them and they found it was an easy fix!
I was racing my 84 cutlass at the dragstrip, on the way to the track, my alternator quit charging. I kept it charged between rounds by hooking jumper cables to our diesel p/u while the truck idled to charge it. I just figured I now need a new alternator, no big deal, I'm now wondering though if this may be connected to my other problem...
As it was getting dark in the final rounds, I went to turn on my headlights and nothing, no headlights, dash lights, markers or tail lights. My regular interior lights turn on when you open the door and the brake lights work. I cant find any fuses in the fuse block labeled for headlights, is it an inline fuse somewhere? or is there a relay that may be bad?
I dont know where to start! HELP!
Thank you in advance!
Craig
