#688 of 1085 1995 Geo Metr Head Lights, Please Help by twawro Oct 23, 2006 (2:04 pm)
Hi, I'm Ted and I'm hoping someone out there can help me with a headlight problem with my girlfriend's 1995 Geo Metro. Her headlights are not working. However, her high beams do come on when you "flash" them but not when you put them on. Daytime running lights, turn signals, rear lamps and the parking light on the passenger side all work. But the front driver's side parking light does not. I checked fuses and the wiring seems to be fine. Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you very much for your help Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 23, 2006 10:36 pm)

Replying to: twawro (Oct 23, 2006 2:04 pm) I'd say the headlight switch itself. The parking light is probably unrelated.
#690 of 1085 One low beam not working by larry2906 Oct 31, 2006 (7:38 pm)
Drivers side low beam does not work. Both high beams work fine. I replaced the bulb and the low beam still does not work. Any ideas? Replies to this message: burdawg (Nov 01, 2006 7:35 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 01, 2006 8:15 am) fpconlult (Feb 11, 2007 9:05 am) kiawah (Feb 11, 2007 9:17 am)

Replying to: larry2906 (Oct 31, 2006 7:38 pm) Is it getting any DC voltage when you turn it on?

Replying to: larry2906 (Oct 31, 2006 7:38 pm) Some cars are fused in funny ways. Check the fusing, then do as burdawg says and check for voltage at the connector as it plugs into the light...sometimes corrosion gets in there.
#693 of 1085 My door is "a door", not "ajar" !!! by boboli Nov 16, 2006 (10:37 am)
I have a Ford Expedition. The interior lights stay lit, and the dummy lights say there is "a door ajar". I've narrowed it down to the rear passenger side door. I cannot find any switch on the door jam, and am not sure where to look inside the door, or frame. Does anybody know where to find the sticky switch before I pull apart all of the trim molding? THings like that usually upset my wife because I never put it back the right way.

Replying to: boboli (Nov 16, 2006 10:37 am) isn't it in the lock itself on those cars? Replies to this message: boboli (Nov 16, 2006 11:58 am) Mr_Shiftright (Nov 16, 2006 12:15 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 16, 2006 11:26 am) That is a thought. That door also has a child safety switch that will lock itself at times. Any ideas on what to look at, or how to test?   Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 16, 2006 12:15 pm)

Replying to: boboli (Nov 16, 2006 11:58 am) sorry no, I have just heard that this is where that dome light switch is. I'd suggest going to the Explorer topic (see make/model drop down window to left of this page) and then once there use the "search" feature and plug in "door switch" or "short in dome light".

Replying to: boboli (Nov 16, 2006 10:37 am) yes, the door ajar switch is in the latch, I have "fixed" several of them in the past (mostly on taurus's) by just spraying some penetrating fluid in the latch, and working it for a bit, in fact, out of the dozen or so I've seen, Ive only had to actually replace 1, dont even take the panal off, just spray directly into the latch and work it back and forth.
