My 97 s14 does not want to turn on the headlights. High beams and side lights work its only the headlights and its both. Where should i start. I noticed the cover on the driver side had like a small blue filament hanging out. Havent pulled the light so will do that next. Any idea what i should do?

start by rotating the blinker fluid. if its thick and gooey its no good.

or maybe check the bulbs???? i dunno. just a thought.

um, check the fuse. also you can use the search button at the top of this page.... also check the light bulbs first... come on dude.

Ill check the bulbs but im almost certain this is electrical since both arent working.

Sounds like a short somewhere, happened to me too. Did you mess with the headlights recently like with the wires?

Step 1: stop drinking the water in Florida.

Step 2: look at it before creating a thread on Zilvia.

get a volt meter and check if you're getting voltage to the plugs..that would take all of 1 min to do
