Question
I am trying to save my son's college car.  The headlights won't turn off.  I've disconnected the low beams and use the dimmer switch to turn the high beam on and off. This does not provide proper illumination and will not pass inspection. How do I fix it, and how expensive will it be?

Answer
Hi Mark,
I would guess that car has the twilight sentinel system, and I don't know much about it, but I believe it needs the module replaced.
Don't just get one, though. See if you can find someone with some experience on the system to be sure.

I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks. I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
