Location- Passenger side engine bay, mounted to front of the strut tower, just behind the relay box. 1.5" x 3" box.
As far as I can tell from looking at the FSM the "headlamp sensor" is a detection circuit for Betty. Yes, No...am I missing some other purpose for this thing?
Here is why I ask: My new 85 had a blown headlamp when I bought it. No biggie. I swapped over the recently purchased headlamps and fog-lights from my 84. Then after just a couple times of turning them on one of the head lamps went out. Could be a coinkidink but...not so sure. I cant really test anything right now since I am in the middle of an engine swap and other misc BS but want to figure out if I may have a bad headlight circuit.
Also I have wondered for years exactly what the hell that little box was actually for. :shock:
My initial guess is that I have a intermittent short to ground ( not likely but could be ) or I have a bad relay in the system. Passing, Headlamp or Theft warning relays. Any thoughts??
