Re: IML: Headlight problem on my 1955

A chafed wire or some sort of bare wire touching ground someplace. You could try checking, with a meter, the wiring to each running light and headlamp. Basically, disconnect the wiring system one wire at a time and test them.

Subject: IML: Headlight problem on my 1955

A while back I sent a question to the list about the root cause of my headlights going off and on from the breaker.  A logical answer was a short in the dimmer switch which I got from a couple of members.  I have replaced my dimmer switch with a NOS switch and I still have the problem.  What else should I check in order to solve this problem?
