I have a 97 Ram Van conversion and I just replaced the right headlight. I works on low beam, but not on high beam.... I went to check fuses in the glove box and I don't see any indication of what goes to what..... My Haynes book has zip, zero, nada on the fuses... Anyone out there have a fuse diagram?

Thanks in advance!!

 

Go to the schematic for Front lighting,trace out and discover that except for 60 amp fuse under the hood feeding more than just headlamps,there is no fuse strictly for headlamps. Got a DVM (digital volt/ohm meter) ? Radio Shack is your next stop. Don't get the cheapest one. This is an ideal troubleshooting opportunity in that youv'e got an identiical circuit to make comparisons to.Good Luck

 

Thanks for that info. Sounds like it could be a bad bulb or the connector is the problem.... Time to trace it out.

I still would like to find the fuse box diagram for general purposes.

 

You're welcome. There are a couple of gentlemen at this forum who are really knowledgeable with these issues. They may be otherwise occupied just now because of the holidays. Factory manuals are pretty cheap at ebaymotors and well worth it when in addition to a meter you can save a lot of money.

 

There is only one fuse for both headlights (high and low beams.) So if any of them are working, it's not a fuse issue. Does both high and low work on the left headlight?

 

Yes the left headlight works on low and high beam. I don't feel it is a fuse issue at this point. We're going to start tracing wires and maybe swap bulbs to see if it is the bulb. A fuse diagram would be helpful for the future.

 

Are you wanting a picture of the inside of the Power Distribution Box lid? If so I can take a pic and post it for you.

Or are you needing the list for the fuse box beside the glove box?

Or are you needing the wiring diagram for the headlamps?

I will try to post the one you need tomorrow evening.

 

MAR,
Thank you, I need the list of fuses in the fuse box in the glove box.

And on a side note, the right headlight high beam works. It just started working before I started troulbeshooting... Go figure. Most likely a connector issue. I will keep an eye on it.....

Thanks All!!

MAR,
Thanks for the fuse list. It is going to come in real handy today, as I couldn't pass inspection. The guy said the OBDII port wouldn't work and he couldn't test. He said a fuse is to blame.
As far as I know, everything works, so I don't know what is up. Time to test all the fuses...

Any ideas?
