Hi everyone,
I'm having some really weird lighting issues with the car. The car is a Ford Mustang V8 2005.
Heres the issue:
- Initially, both headlamps were not working properly (they'll light up but were extremely dim).
- Whenever I try to use the highbeams, the fuse instantly blows.
- Fog lights work perfectly fine.
Things I've tried
- Replacing fuse, relay = no changes, highbeam fuse instantly blows when I turn on highbeams.
- Replace bulbs = no changes
- Replace bulb holder/socket = left light now works fine, right light now lights up for half a second and instantly goes off.
- Cleaning the ground near the radiator cover = no changes
One weird thing I noticed was that when I remove the ground the radiator cover, both lights immediately works BUT there is a high pitch whine from the light switch inside the cabin.
I'm guessing there is something wrong with the ground? Would I need to change the entire wiring harness? I've been trying to find the part number for it but I'm based in Germany and spare parts are really limited here for the S197 models.
Hopefully someone would be able to shed some light on this! (pun intended)
Happy New Year!
Regards,
Jiv
