I just picked up a set of composite headlights from my local junkyard to replace my sealed beam lights on my 2000 astro cargo. I snapped a photo of the post on these forums I was using for reference while doing the wiring:
Passenger HL wired up and worked perfect. Took a break for the night. This morning, wired up the driver's HL, but forgot to disconnect the battery before doing my splicing. I didn't realize this until after I had wired it up, and tried to turn on the headlights to test them. Now, they don't turn on at all. No dah lights, no ding with keys in the ignition, no start. Clicking type noise coming from the dash at maybe 10 second intervals, Thought it might be the HL/dimmer knob module, pulled it out and it's coming from the behind the gauge cluster I think. Stereo lights are on. Battery around 12v. All the fuses under the hood and under the dash look good.
I feel dumb for forgetting to disconnect the battery before cutting/splicing the wires, perhaps I fried something. Regardless, I need to figure out what's going on... suggestions?
