[Rovernet] Blown fuses, need electrical help

[Gord Reddy]

To recap (its how my slow, electrician's brain troubleshoots).

- Headlight wiring sorted out by competent mechanic (used to Lucas?), was 
there an earlier problem?
- You drove 1 - 2 minutes on low beam, engaged high beam for (time?) went 
back to low beam but they did not work.
- Back to high beam for 2 minutes then they stopped working leaving you with 
no headlights.
- Replaced  "Headlamp RH Dip" fuse which blew repeatedly (on low beam?).
- If fuse is removed you have your high beam (all 4 lights) for how long?

I was just at the shop and I should of grabbed the shop manual, dang! Its 
interesting that there are 2 lighting systems failing but only one blown 
fuse, also that the "Headlamp RH Dip"
fuse should blow. Are there any other fuses that involve headlamps?

Probably not more than 1-2 mintues.

Lance,

How long did you drive before engaging the brights?

'70  3500s  w/o AC.      Had headlight wiring sorted out a couple of years
ago by competent mechanic but I didn't have the opportunity to drive the car
@ night until yesterday.    Once I began driving with lights on I decided to
engage the brights.  When I subsequently disengaged the brights I had no
lights what so ever.  Switched back to brights which lasted a couple minutes
and then all headlights went dark  (running lights, brake lights, etc., all
remained operational).       At home I replaced the blown fuse on "Headlamp
RH Dip"---it blew repeatedly, but for some unexplained reason if I left the
fuse out altogether, I had all four lights on if I engaged the highbeam
switch.

Any help in running down this problem would be appreciated.

Lance
