Why don't my headlights work?

Question

I just bought a 1991 Geo Metro. The headlights do not turn on when you push the button to turn them on. On the dim/bright switch, if you pull and hold the lever back towards you all the way the headlights come on reguardless of the headlight on/off button. All of the other lights work fine. Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

Check the headlight relay.

Answer 2

the on/off switch or the headlight dimmer switch is bad.. my guess would be the dimmer switch... 300-400.00 to fix....

if you push forward on the dimmer switch and lights come on...check to make sure the low-beam bulbs aren't burned out....

Answer 3

get it checked

Answer 4

one of two things a blown fuse or a faulty headlight switch
