Oky Now I only have only High Beams ....?
 
I just swaped to a new alt. I no longer have the over charging problem.
I bought new headlights installed them and Now I only have high beams I hit the brand new floor switch to low and I can hear the the light switch in the dash clicking. What is wrong do I need a new switch also ?

Anyone have any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Did you change your regulator or your alternator ? I had the exact problem, new regulator fixed the problem. make sure your connections to the light are good, make sure you have a ground well grounded. Check to see if you have power to the headlights.

Good luck

Mebbe the floor switch is bad? Disconnect the plug from it and use a ohm meter to check for continuity. Click it and see if its any good.

Ummmm I am super Dumb.

When I attached the broken ground wire back to the fender I pinched the low beam wire gounding it to the frame also. Opps.

Thanks for the help.

That clicking in the light switch is actually a circuit breaker. If there's an overload or a short, it shuts off the power to the lights.
