Couple of quick questions. My headlight door motors work great but the headlights don’t come on. I happen to have another headlight switch that’s proven but it failed to fix the issue.

It’s on a 1974 914 If that’s relevant

Is there a headlight relay somewhere or something I should look at?

My turn signals flash quickly and I only have one brake light. Is it the same as the turn signal and the bulb just burned out? Hmmm ( I can check that pretty quick )

Still no lights but the explanation gave me several outlets to check. Nothing yet but I have powered the lights with a jumper. I'm thinking it might be in the ignition switch because the fuses don't have power

Do you have power to the red/white wire on the beam selector relay? If not, then you have a headlight switch issue.

No power to the relay. Going to find the 4 battery power wires
