    No headlights

    Hey guys got a problem with a buddys gtx, car has corners lighting up but no headlights, theres power on the middle wire on the plug, tried a known good bulb and nothing, fuse is good. Ground problems common? Where is the ground for the headlight circuit? Thanks

    Recheck the bulb. The bulbs are way more likely to go out before any of the wiring goes bad. Just a thought.

      Checked twice with a bulb from my car that i drove there. We gave up and started working on other things and they magically came on. The pass light is weak, switched bulbs from side to side and still the same, also the signals in the bumper are real dim, leaning towards a weak ground alot now?

        Yep, bad ground if one works normal and one is dim.

          Are the grounds located on the frame rail behind each headlight?

            I think so, but check them all, specially the block cable. There are also some under the main fuse box and the igniter.
